Visa Restriction Policy on Undermining the Democratic Process in Sierra Leone
The United States is committed to supporting and advancing democracy in Sierra Leone and around the world. Today, I am announcing a new visa restriction policy under Section 212(a)(3)C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act for undermining the democratic process in the June 2023 Sierra Leone election.
The visa restriction policy announced today will apply to specific individuals and is not directed at the Sierra Leonean people.
