The US Department of State said it is taking steps to impose
visa restrictions on Bangladeshi individuals responsible for, or complicit in,
undermining the democratic election process in Bangladesh.
These individuals include members of law enforcement
agencies, the ruling party, and the political opposition, the US State
Department said in a statement on Friday.
It, however, did not disclose the names of those
individuals.
"The United States is committed to supporting free and
fair elections in Bangladesh that are carried out in a peaceful manner.
"These persons and members of their immediate family
may be found ineligible for entry into the United States."
"Additional persons found to have been responsible for,
or complicit in, undermining the democratic election process in Bangladesh may
also be found ineligible for US visas under this policy in the future. This
includes current and former Bangladeshi officials, members of opposition and
ruling political parties, and members of law enforcement, the judiciary, and security
services,” the statement adds.
"Our actions today reflect the continued commitment of
the United States to supporting Bangladesh’s goal of peacefully holding free
and fair national elections, and to support those seeking to advance democracy
globally," the statement reads.
On May 24, the US announced that it would be able to
restrict the issuance of visas for any Bangladeshi individual, believed to be
responsible for, or complicit in, undermining the democratic election process
in Bangladesh.
