CUBA: The French Castigate Fidel For Comment On Roma Expulsions.

BBC/    Fidel Castro continues hogging the news cycle and the limelight with comments and appearances, while publicizing his latest tome.
     This time, the French, sensitive from growing criticism over their recent expulsion of some 8,000 Roma to Eastern Europe, are reacting to a Castro comment. They are insulted that Castro called their expulsions, "a racial holocaust," and said he was ignorant of history.
A spokesman said: "Such words are unacceptable," adding "That Fidel Castro shows an interest in human rights is truly revolutionary."
