FACTBOX - Sanctions on Zimbabwe

(Reuters) - Zimbabwe on Saturday welcomed the failure of a Western-backed U.N. Security Council resolution to impose sanctions over its violent presidential elections, calling it a victory over racism and meddling in its affairs.

Russia and China on Friday vetoed the resolution, which would have imposed an arms embargo on the southern African country and financial and travel restrictions on President Robert Mugabe and 13 other officials.

Below are details of sanctions and restrictions already in place against Zimbabwe.

* VISA BANS AND ASSET FREEZES:

-- The European Union imposed a visa ban on President Robert Mugabe and 19 of his top officials in 2002 because of Zimbabwe's treatment of observers sent to monitor presidential elections.

That has now been expanded to more than 100 of Mugabe's closest aides and family.

The European Union has also frozen the overseas assets of the Zimbabweans who are subject to its visa ban.

-- The United States first imposed sanctions in March 2003 and later widened them to apply to about 250 people accused of undermining democracy. The U.S. sanctions also bar Americans from engaging in any transactions or dealings with them.
