Overview

The student's arrest was witnessed by only a small minority. It took place without siren, without flashing light & more ominously, it was not mentioned in the Kiev news. The nature of this arrest did however, prompt the other three students (all Ukranian Jews) to try for freedom-their aim being to escape to Israel via Europe. Hijacking a plane & making for the West, they are refused help by one country after another. Unable to bargain with hijackers as a matter of moral principle, many of the Western countries face a dilemma; not only are the hijackers Jewish, but also have hijacked an enemy plane. This provokes divided sympathies so that when the plane inevitably runs out of fuel & is forced to land in England, the authorities have to decide whether these men should be treated as political refugees or as murderous criminals.
