Immigrant judge weighs plea of hijacker father and son
Los Angeles immigration judge allows Lithuanian hijackers Parnas Brazinskas and son Algirdas to renew asylum bids in the United States. They fled Soviet Lithuania after hijacking a 1970 Soviet airliner to Turkey where they were jailed. The case tests policy on hijacking as a bar to refuge under a 1980 act. Support from Lithuanian Americans contrasts with U.S. stance that hijackers deserve no asylum.
