The chief executive of the project "Cuba Archive", María Werlau,presented in Madrid the first data from a registry that documents the deaths that have been produced during the process whose head has been the dictator Fidel Castro.Thanks to El blog de Martha Colmenares.
The partial results of this investigation show that between Jan 1st 1959 and Oct 31st 2006 there has been 5.775 documented cases of executions, 1.231 unlawful murders, 200 cases of disappeared dissidents and y 984 deaths in prison, which sum up to a total of 8.190 deaths. Deaths in prison are up to a total of: 159 murders, 209 deaths because of medical negligence, 264 suicides, 21 accidents and 331 by "supposed natural causes", about which Werlau said that "the death rate in prisons is higher that the rate shown by the rest of the population".
The especialist added that the rate of deaths is higher but that the process is slow and difficult as the registry has not only the Castro's dictaatorship -1959-, but also the Bastista's dictatorship -since 1952-, to consider all of them as victims.
