this don't count the terror in the Vendeé, in which considerably more were slaughtered and without the pretense of trial or anything. it wasn't all Jacobin there, but horrible nonetheless
Robespierre didn't even know what was going on until it was too late unfortunately, and I feel that pinning these massacres on him is simply wrong. But the 20000 figure is actually correct when it comes to people being sentenced to death through the Great Terror.
you can't pin it on him only because the bloodshed went on after his tenure, the committee signed off on massacre-ing of Vendeans--I wouldn't know if he personally voted for it tho
