OFAC HAS UPDATED ITS NON-SDN COMMUNIST CHINESE MILITARY COMPANIES LIST AND SDN LIST ADDING IRAQI MILITIA LEADER

On 8 January, OFAC advised that OFAC had updated both these lists, with Falih AL-FAYYADH also being added to the Global Magnitsky human rights sanctions list.  He is Iraqi Popular Mobilization Committee (PMC) Chairman and former National Security Advisor for his connection to serious human rights abuse.
