Ending Kusa Sanctions 'Astonishing'

LONDON EVENING STANDARD: An EU decision to lift sanctions on Muammar Gaddafi's former right-hand man Musa Kusa has been condemned as "astonishing".

Kusa, who made a high-profile defection to Britain last month, no longer faces travel restrictions or an asset freeze.

A Foreign Office spokesman said: "Sanctions are introduced to invoke behavioural change and as Musa Kusa has chosen to leave the regime he is no longer sanctioned in this way." » | Thursday, April 14, 2011
