Venezuelan Vice-President Delcy Rodriguez was among 11 senior officials hit today by EU sanctions over irregularities in the reelection of President Nicolas Maduro, the bloc announced.

"The persons listed are responsible for human rights violations and for undermining democracy and the rule of law in Venezuela. The measures include a travel ban and an asset freeze," the European Union said after its 28 foreign ministers backed the move at a meeting in Luxembourg.
