By BBCMore by this AuthorThe US has imposed visa restrictions on Ghana for refusing to accept the return of 7,000 Ghanaian nationals that it wants to deport. Last year, Ghana had questioned the deportees' nationality and treatment. The US accuses the 7,000 deportees of being guilty of immigration offences, including abusing the terms of their visas. Last year, the Ghanaian authorities said they had delayed the process so they could vet the deportees and confirm their nationalities. Government and parliamentary employees and their families were also to be targeted with restrictions such as limiting the number and length of visas granted.
