After Fidel Castro and Che Guevara imposed their Stalinist regime at Soviet gunpoint, Cuban women tripled their suicide rate. Indeed, they became the most suicidal women on earth. This according to a 1998 study by scholar Maida Donate-Armada, which uses some of the Cuban regime's own figures.
During the '60s (when Che was second in Cuban command), 35,150 Cuban women were jailed for political crimes, a totalitarian horror utterly unknown not only in Cuba, but in the Western Hemisphere, at least until the Castro regime.
Prison conditions were described by former political prisoner Maritza Lugo as such: "The punishment cells measure 3 feet wide by 6 feet long. The toilet consists of an 8 inch hole in the ground through which cockroaches and rats enter, especially in cool temperatures the rat come inside to seek the warmth of our bodies and we were often bitten. The suicide rate among women prisoners was very high."
Thousands upon thousands of Cuban women have drowned, died of thirst, or have been eaten alive by sharks attempting to flee the regime co-founded by Che Guevara.
