It is the policy of the United States to consider foreign government officials who are responsible for, are complicit in, or have directly or indirectly engaged in severe restrictions of the internationally-recognized right to freedom of expression, such as arbitrary detention, imprisonment, enforced disappearance, torture, extrajudicial killing, and other substantial threats to the life and liberty of a person, as having committed gross violations of internationally recognized human rights for purposes of imposing sanctions with respect to such officials under— the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act ( 22 U.S.C. 2656 note; subtitle F of title XII of Public Law 114–328 ); and section 7031(c) of the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2019 (division F of Public Law 116–6 ).
