Johannesburg - The EU list of new Zimbabwean targets for sanctions includes the central bank governor, two journalists at state-controlled newspapers and a doctor who reportedly refused to treat victims of political violence.
Most of the 37 new targets posted on Wednesday on the EU website are security force officers "directly involved in the terror campaign" waged around Zimbabwe's disputed March and June presidential elections.
Also under the new asset freezes and travel bans agreed on Monday are central bank governor Gideon Gono, Attorney-General Bharat Patel and cricket chairperson Peter Chingoka.
The barred journalists are Munyaradzi Huni of The Sunday Mail and Caesar Zvayi of The Herald, both accused of propagating hate speech.
