Cuban dictator Fidel Castro talking to "intellectuals" at the Cuban Book Fair and alluding to the murder of hunger striking political prisoner Wilman Villar Mendoza (my translation):

"It has almost become a political instrument where any symptom, any type of illness, a heart attack or whatever, and they say they were on a hunger strike. I laugh when I see all of this, I do not get upset, because I cannot stop them from telling lies. The problem is not that they lie, the problem is how we tell the truth. I cannot condone any type of repression and much less, any type of crime."
