Executions by firing squad: thousands, including mass executions such as the 1959 La Cabana Fortress killings of at least 151 people American Enterprise Institute - AEI.
Extrajudicial killings: about 1,200 documented cases American Enterprise Institute - AEI.
Forced disappearances: hundreds, often linked to political repression Cuba Archive.
Deaths in exit attempts: drowning, mining accidents, and other dangers faced by those trying to flee the country Cuba Archive.
Deaths in custody: from medical neglect, denial of care, or hunger strikes Cuba Archive.
The Cuba Archive’s own researchers note that the 10,723 figure is conservative and could be higher by a factor of 10 American Enterprise Institute - AEI.
Economist Armando Lago has estimated that almost 78,000 Cubans may have died trying to flee the dictatorship American Enterprise Institute - AEI.
