EU bans arms sales to Uzbekistan

The EU has approved an arms embargo on Uzbekistan after the violent suppression of anti-government protests in the city of Andijan in May.

It has also decided to deny visas to top Uzbek officials.

However, the bloc has yet to announce who exactly will be affected by the travel ban.

EU ministers meeting in Luxembourg said the sanctions were a consequence of Tashkent's refusal to allow an independent inquiry into the events. <snip>
