US taking steps to impose visa restrictions on Bangladeshis

The United States Department of States today 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, the ruling party, and the political opposition," said State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller in a statement today.
He said the US is committed to supporting free and fair elections in Bangladesh that are carried out in a peaceful manner.
