They had an enormous number of people infected with internal parasites, desperately bad nutrition, no running water, no electricity, no medical treatment available to the poor, which was the majority of the population. They were kept paralyzed with fear by paramilitary death squads, one with more than 2,000 men, "Masferrer's Tigers", controlled by a personal friend of bloody dictator, Fulgencio Batista, Cuban publisher, and Senator Rolando Masferrer, who was murdered himself with a carbomb when he escaped the retribution of the revolution by running off to the United States, taking with him millions of stolen Cuban dollars. Masferrer's Tigers and Batista government forces tortured and murdered political opposition relentlessly, and publicly, leaving bodies hung from light-posts and torn apart and hung in trees in smaller cities like Santiago de Cuba.
When the mothers of murdered young men in Santiago de Cuba marched through the streets of Santiago de Cuba,
then approached the U.S. ambassador to beg him to intercede with Batista, the Cuban cops used their powerful fire hoses and turned them on the mothers.
