    The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has added several individuals from Uzbekistan to its Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List. These individuals have been identified as being involved in serious human rights abuses. As a result, all their properties and interests in property within U.S. jurisdiction are blocked, and U.S. citizens are generally barred from conducting transactions with them. The publication of this information ensures compliance and raises awareness about these sanctions.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Treasury Department has decided that some people from Uzbekistan did bad things, so they can't use their money or things in the U.S., and people in the U.S. can't do business with them.
