WASHINGTON, Jan 25 (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department said on Sunday it was imposing visa restrictions on members of Haiti's Transitional Presidential Council and revoking the visas of two council members and their immediate families.
The State Department statement attributed the visa restrictions to council members' alleged "involvement in the operation of gangs and other criminal organizations in Haiti, including through interference with the Government of Haiti's efforts to counter gangs designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations."
The statement did not mention the names of the members being impacted.
