About 20,000 people were estimated to have been killed under the regime of Fulgencio Batista in Cuba. These deaths were the result of government repression, extrajudicial killings, and executions of political opponents. The vast majority of the victims were civilians, and many were tortured before being killed. The repression under Batista's regime was particularly severe in the late 1950s, as the opposition to his rule grew.
