Human Rights
According to Human Rights Watch, Castro constructed a "repressive machinery" which continues to deprive Cubans of their basic rights.
The Cuban government has been accused of numerous human rights abuses, including torture, arbitrary imprisonment, unfair trials, and extrajudicial executions (a.k.a. "El Paredón"). Human Rights Watch reports that the regime represses nearly all forms of political dissent. There are many restrictions on leaving the country.
