The United States has sanctioned Tanzania's police chief and barred him from entering the U.S., citing alleged human rights violations committed by the police force.
The sanctions announced Thursday followed a general election in October in which President Samia Suluhu Hassan won a full term with 97% of the vote after a crackdown on opposition figures. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in December said the country was reviewing its ties with Tanzania over repression and election violence.
