Sanctions on RAB won’t be lifted without actions, accountability: US ambassador Asia News Network (ANN) is the leading regional alliance of news titles striving to bring the region closer, through an active sharing of editorial content on happenings in the region.
Unless concrete actions are taken and accountability is ensured, there is no scope for lifting the sanctions on Rab, said US Ambassador Peter Haas at a discussion yesterday.
Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen, in a letter, requested US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to reconsider the country’s decision to impose sanctions on Rapid Action Battalion and seven current and former top officials of the agency, including Benazir Ahmed (now inspector general of police).
