The European Union imposed sanctions on Eritrea’s National Security Agency, citing alleged human-rights violations.
“The National Security Office is responsible for serious human-rights violations in Eritrea, in particular arbitrary arrests, extra-judicial killings, enforced disappearances of persons and torture committed by its agents,” the EU said Monday in its official journal.
