Because we have not seen fundamental progress, the United States has taken steps to increase our sanctions on the officials and institutions that we find responsible for the repression in Belarus. We expanded our travel restrictions to include large categories of persons based on their positions, including for the first time directors and deputy directors of state-owned enterprises and their spouses. http://minsk.usembassy.gov/roundtable12132007.html
