Former Cuban President Fidel Castro has lashed out at the EU's decision to lift sanctions against his country, calling it "an enormous hypocrisy".
He said the move was "disparaging" because it was conditioned on human rights progress in Cuba.
The ailing 81-year-old said the measure came just days after the EU passed a "brutal" law that could jail illegal immigrants up to 18 months.
The EU lifted the sanctions against Cuba in principle on Thursday.
