US places sanctions on Pakistan

The United States last week announced that it was imposing sanctions on Pakistani companies for alleged links to nuclear trade, reports Voice of America.

A statement released by Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said,

“Pakistan believes that there should be no undue restrictions on the access to dual-use items and technologies for peaceful and legitimate purposes. Pakistan has always been transparent and willing to engage with the suppliers of the dual-use items.”

The list of banned entities contains companies that the US determined to be “acting contrary to the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States.”

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
