Bush imposes travel ban on Belarus government

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush imposed a U.S. travel ban on Monday on members of the Belarus government, citing electoral fraud, human rights abuses and corruption.

Bush took action following a crackdown on the Belarus opposition after the re-election of Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko in a March ballot that Western governments denounced as rigged.
