OFAC ADDS A LIBYAN NATIONAL AND ENTITY TO GLOBAL MAGNITSKY SANCTIONS LISTS

On 25 November, OFAC advised that Mohamed AL-KANI (who has numerous aliases) and the KANIYAT MILITIA (which also has alternative and former names) had been added to its SDN Lists.  The militia and its leader are designated and said to be responsible for the murder of civilians recently discovered in numerous mass graves in Tarhouna, as well as torture, forced disappearances, and displacement of civilians.
