M.PRESS/ Tens of thousands of gay men were sent to labor camp and jails in the 1960s through the '90s without charges or trials. In the second part of an interview with a Mexican newspaper, Fidel Castro now concedes he was wrong.“They were moments of great injustice, great injustice!” Castro told journalist Carmen Lira Saade from La Jornada. “If someone is responsible, it's me”. But later Castro backs off this admission, by saying that... he was just too busy to protect human rights! "We had so many and such terrible problems, problems of life or death, that we didn't pay it enough attention. We were fighting CIA attempts to oust the revolution and they even infiltrated my people, they were terrible times, fully concentrated on political and survival issues”.
