Senators Applaud Zimbabwe Sanctions, Request More Designations

Sens. Jim Risch, R-Idaho, and Chris Coons, D-Del., applauded the Treasury Department’s decision to sanction Zimbabwean officials for human rights violations (see 2003110025) but called for more Zimbabwe sanctions, according to a March 11 press release. The senators said they will continue to push the administration to “hold leaders accountable for corruption” and human rights violations, and added that “there remain several others who need to be held accountable for their actions and we urge the administration to update the list as needed.”
