US imposes entry ban on ex-Surinamese president, former military officials

The United States on Friday announced an entry ban on former Surinamese President Desi Bouterse and six former military officials, citing alleged involvement in extrajudicial killings of political opponents in 1982.

"These individuals and four family members are generally ineligible for entry into the United States," the U.S. State Department said in a statement.
