Fidel Castro Writes to Dispute "Lies" about his Health-Maddie Ash

A photo of Castro from Saturday
   Fidel Castro published an article combating the rumors that he is on his death bed. The former Cuban leader insisted that he was in good health and couldn't even remember the last time he had a headache. Along with the article were pictures of Castro. His extended absence from the public eye has fueled rumors that Castro is dying or even already dead. "Although a lot of people in the world are taken in by the organs of information, almost all of which are in the hands of the privileged and the rich that publish these stupidities, people are increasingly believing less and less in them," said the ex-leader in his article. He went on to say that he was keeping himself busy writing and studying, but had decided to step back from the public eye "because it certainly is not my role to occupy the pages of our newspaper". Castro ended the article by saying: "I don't even remember what a headache is. To show what liars they are, I'm offering these photos to accompany this article."
