40 Mugabe allies face U.S. sanctions
- Share via
The United States plans in the next few days to slap new travel and financial sanctions on about 40 more people with ties to Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, a senior U.S. official said. The United States has already imposed sanctions on about 130 people with ties to Mugabe.
Mugabe, 83, is accused of plunging the southern African state into its worst economic crisis through a series of controversial policies.
He has also cracked down hard on the opposition, and rights groups say he has beaten, tortured and in some cases killed opposition activists.
