Description
Visiting a shop in their Mexico City hotel Monday are George Prellez and his wife, Olga. Prellezo, a pilot aboard a U.S. airliner hijacked to Cuba last month, was released by Cuban authorities after his wife went there from the United States to plead for his freedom. The pilot, a naturalized citizen, and his wife arrived in Mexico on a regular Havana-Mexico City flight and refused to comment on the incident.
