US sanctions two Cuban officials, one entity

United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced on Friday it sanctioned Cuban Ministry of the Interior (MININT) officials Romarico Vidal Sotomayor Garcia and Pedro Orlando Martinez Fernandez, as well as the Tropas de Prevencion (TDP) of the Cuban Ministry of Revolutionary Armed Forces (MINFAR).

“The Treasury Department will continue to designate those who enable the Cuban government to perpetuate human rights abuses against peaceful demonstrators. Today’s action shines a spotlight on additional perpetrators responsible for suppressing the Cuban people’s calls for freedom and respect for human rights,” OFAC Director Andrea Gacki claimed in a statement.

The sanctions were imposed under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act that enables the US to sanction other countries’ citizens and entities it considers responsible for human rights violations and corruption.
