VICTIMS OF THE CUBAN REVOLUTION
February 19, 2008 Update on Findings

This work documents loss of life and disappearances of a political or military nature attributed to the Cuban Revolution. Each documented case is available for review at www.CubaArchive.org and substantiated by bibliographic/historic data and reports from direct sources. Due to the ongoing nature of the work and the difficulty of obtaining and verifying data from Cuba, the following totals change as research progresses and are considered far from exhaustive. Cuba Archive is currently examining additional cases –most are expected to be added to this table. Experience has shown that as additional outreach efforts are undertaken, many more cases are likely to be uncovered.

Non-Combat Victims of the Castro Regime:
January 1, 1959 to December 31, 2007
Work-in-progress

Documented Cases
Firing squad executions 4,074
Extrajudicial killings not in prison 1,334
Missing and disappeared 219
Other, including deaths in prison(1) 2,215
7,842
Estimate
"Balseros" (estimate to 2003) (2) 77,833
Total 85,675

(1) Deaths in prison include assassinations, suicides, and deaths resulting from medical negligence or from accidents or alleged natural causes probably precipitated by prison conditions.
(2) The estimated number of victims was derived in 2003 by Dr. Armando Lago from data in studies by the Oceanographic Institute of the University of Miami and the University of Havana and reports by the U.S. Coast Guard. The actual number of rafters who have perished at sea is very difficult to corroborate. Deaths from 2003 to the present have not been estimated.

Combat Deaths
At least 16,282 additional deaths in combat or missing in action can be directly attributed to the Cuban Revolution, of which Cuba Archive has documented 1,392. 1,289 combat deaths are documented from anti-Castro military operations (Bay of Pigs expedition, the internal insurgency, and infiltration missions). Losses by the Castro government in military operations are estimated at 14,953 at the Bay of Pigs, fighting the insurgents in the rural war inside Cuba, and killed in the military intervention in Angola. In addition, 40 persons were killed in the accidental explosion of a civilian aviation plane (Cubana de Aviación) in Nicaragua used by the Cuban government to transport arms to the Sandinistas).

Other Deaths
Thousands of foreign nationals, both military and civilians, have been killed in Africa and Latin America in Cuba’s internationalist wars and its support of subversion. These are estimated in the hundreds of thousands.

Elian says those numbers are on steroids!!

Look at your Hero here on the right tying up a man before he was about to get shot in the head just because he didn't agree with the revolution.

Thousands of Cubans have died in front of Castro's infamous firing squad. There was no discrimination, as far as the firing squad was concerned. Young and old, black and white, rich and poor were sent to 'el paredón' (the wall).
Many of those who helped Castro gain power, like Comandantes Ernesto Sori Marin and William Morgan, an American, were among the thousands who were shot.

Click here to see a video of the firing squad murder of Col. Cornelio Rojas

Here are some of the gruesome photos.


Fidel Castro questioning a Cuban farmer who was later executed. The woman behind Castro is Celia Sánchez and sitting next to him is Camilo Cienfuegos.

Even before the triumph of the Revolution, Castro and his gang were prone to murder those who disagreed with them. In the photo below, taken while still in the Sierra Maestra mountains, Fidel Castro's brother, Raul, is seen getting ready to shoot a young rebel soldier who disobeyed orders.

And more than forty -eight years after the above photo was taken, Castro and his gang of murderers continue to send to the firing squad, those Cubans who oppose his betrayal of the Revolution.

The three photos above show two prisoners being shot by Castro's rebel forces in the Sierra Maestra mountains.
Castro's reign of brutality began over 50 years ago, and it still continues today.

This is what happens to you in Cuba for trying to connect to the Internet



Guillermo Fariñas is one of Cuba's most courageous independent journalists. The Castro regime doesn't allow Fariñas to connect to the Internet in order to send his reports about what is happening in the island.
He has held several hunger strikes to demand his right to connect to the Internet, as billions of people all over the world can do, but to no avail.
Fariñas has been the victim of many beatings by Castro's Gestapo. The last one took place just last week when agents of Castro's State Security beat him again.
You can see the results of the beating in the photograph that appears above.
This brutal regime is the one that many nations in Latin America want to imitate. It is hard to imagine how anyone could want to live under a regime that beats its citizens for exercising their right to connect to the Internet or to say what they feel.

Cuban doctor is brutally beaten because he wanted to leave the island
Two Cuban doctors, Dr. Aldo Consuegra Martínez and his wife, Dr. Rayma Diaz Caballero, were fired from their jobs in September of last year after they announced their intention to leave the country.
Now, we have received information that in addition to losing his job, Dr. Consuegra Martinez also suffered a brutal beating at the hands of Cuba's authorities.
The couple lives in Moa, province of Holguin.
We want to thank Stefania, Misceláneas de Cuba and Roberto Miranda, vice president of Movimiento Liberal Cubano for the photos and the information.

Belly:

Let us be candid, show me a war or revolution where there arent casualties and I will make a thread saying that you hold the absolute truth about The Cuban Revolution.

and let me state that I am not defending the Revolution's mistakes, but you cant post a photo of the Castro brothers tying up a man and saying he is being shot bcs he disagrees with them.... you dont know who that guy is and what he did.

Or more importantly, do you post and denounce the Black Water mercenaries when they kill innocent Iraqi men, women and children? and what for? They werent even asked if they agreed with them politically.

In Castro you find a man that will shoot down planes after they were warned REPEATEDLY, you also find a man who sent his best General to the 'paredon' for treason, which is in the Cuban constitution btw. You have to be greater than a Demon to get away with things like this in the world stage.

You my fellow earthling, as Jesus had his detractors, will never see any good done by one of the greatest Hispanic minds...just bcs you dont like him , will not stop him from being poised for his place in history.

On the other hand , other Great men like Mandela think differently.....

Here is the story behind the picture which by the way was put by our own Trujillo when Fidel was trying to make him look bad and evil so Trujillo turned around and show the world the real Fidel after that they were not friendly at all. Here is the caption for the pictures.
"Fidel Castro questioning a Cuban farmer who was later executed. The woman behind Castro is Celia Sánchez and sitting next to him is Camilo Cienfuegos.

Actually you are very wrong about that statement because just today i was having a argument with a dummy in the front page about the civilian death toll by USA.

That's statement doesn't prove anything and i fail to get you point by it.

You my fellow earthling, as Jesus had his detractors, will never see any good done by one of the greatest Hispanic minds...just bcs you dont like him , will not stop him from being poised for his place in history.

Greatest mind how so when Cuba is no better than any other LA country after 40+ years of the revolution and Fidel is estimated of having a 1+ billion dollar fortune when people in Cuba are barely eating enough. Check out the web site i gave you. www.therealcuba.com

Belly:


A few points:

- Your proof onthe picture is referencing a picture presented by your Trujillo???? And we are supposed to believe what that General puts out as were is mandatory pictures in our homes with the subcioncious propaganda of RLTM (Rectitud, Lealtad, Trabajo, Moral !).... Please excuse my skeptism, but try again please.

- Besides, the Revolution's fusiliamientos are more than known, they are fully acknowledged by their leaders as openly admitted by Che in his address to the United Nations where he was asked about those fusilamientos and he replied "Sí, hemos fusilado , y seguiremos fusilando porque nuestra lucha es una lucha hasta la muerte."... of course, they hide behind the story that all were offered a trial etc etc. (See, I can be critical too!)

- 60+ years ????? do you have any mathematical abilities?? adn to answer your question, yes, Cuba is better off than other Latin countries ...it eats you doesnt it???? haha

And to conclude, the key to be in synch with the Universe is to think critically, dont take a picture and a caption and accept it as absolute truth. We have proof that journalists will report anything that fits there purpose,.... Recently a Republican propagandist fed teh media footage of a different march in Washington and claimed it to be from the Tea Party to show it was succesful, fortunately my boy Keith Olbie caught it and exposed it.

What I'm trying to say Belly, its better to question the echoes in your head , and if after questioning it you still remain unchanged Kudos to you !! but keep questioning ,that is the purpose of all free men!

Now let me ask you a question, are you a traitor to the US (as per Pepe) and consume/use Communist china products? oh oh!!!

let us be candid you are a useful idiot of the communist movement Dim yes an accomplice

Spoken like a 'gusano'with truth, reason and facts on his side.
You wouldnt know a Communist if Marx himself pointed it out to you!! haha!
Your adored Yoani is one too ! they are all over you Goulet... all over..... Chucky is one too !!! booooooo!!
