The Trump administration on Tuesday imposed economic
sanctions on more than a dozen individuals suspected of
Human Rights violations in six countries and banned two others from entering the
United States, including a former Saudi official in
Turkey for his alleged role in the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The Treasury Department's announcement, made on International Human Rights Day, sanctioned individuals from
Myanmar,
Pakistan, Libya, Slovakia, South Sudan and the Congo.
The action blocks all property and interests in property within U.S. jurisdiction that are owned or partially owned by those sanctioned.
