Answer

The 11,000 victims claimed under Balaguer's regime of terror were the result of his brutal policies that included torture, disappearances, and political killings. He ruled the Dominican Republic from 1966 to 1978, and during his time in office, he was responsible for the deaths of an estimated 11,000 people. These deaths were the result of Balaguer's efforts to suppress dissent and opposition to his regime.
