On this day, 32 years ago, on December 31, 1993 (November 19, 1993 in the lunar calendar), two mainland hijackers were sentenced to 10 years in prison in Taiwan. On December 31, 1993, Xinhua Agency reported that Liu Baocai and Huang Shugang, who hijacked the plane to Taiwan in April 1993, had been sentenced to 10 years in prison respectively; the remaining hijackers were also under trial. hijackers are not allowed to apply for residence in Taiwan. Since the incident of gangsters hijacking a civil aircraft to Taiwan, public opinion in Taiwan has reacted strongly, believing that all hijackers should be repatriated to the mainland. According to relevant regulations, those who hijack aircraft by rape, coercion or other methods should be sentenced to death, life imprisonment, and no suspended sentences should be imposed in accordance with relevant regulations. Gao Jun, the hijacker who hijacked a plane to Taiwan on December 8, 1993, remained emotionally unstable while he was detained in the Taoyuan Prison Detention Center and attempted suicide in the early morning of December 23. Previously, from December 18 to 22, the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait discussion group held working discussions with the Taiwan Strait Exchange Foundation in Taipei on the implementation of relevant agreements on the Wang-Koo talks, with a focus on the repatriation of cross-Strait hijackers. A relevant person from the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait said that the focus of this negotiation was the repatriation of cross-Strait hijackers, and the negotiations made great progress and reached important consensus. Both sides agreed that hijacking civil aircraft by violence, coercion or other means is a serious criminal offence and should be severely punished. In principle, all hijackers will be repatriated. On this basis, after careful consultations, the two sides have initially drawn up the basic framework for the cross-Strait hijackers repatriation agreement, and the specific wording will still be negotiated. The basic framework of the cross-Strait hijacker repatriation agreement roughly includes the scope of application, repatriation principles, coercive measures, repatriation requirements, repatriation methods and handover. It is understood that this agreement applies to the crime of people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait hijacking civil aircraft from one side of the Taiwan Strait and flying it to the other side by violence, coercion or other methods; in principle, repatriation uses Matsu and Mawei as the shipping handover locations, and it may be agreed to use Kinmen and Xiamen as the handover locations based on actual needs; and so on. Relevant sources said that negotiators from the two sessions all stated that the two sessions should continue negotiations on the issue of repatriating hijackers as soon as possible and further negotiate on the written formulation of certain provisions of the agreement so as to reach an agreement as soon as possible.
