Sec­re­tary of Fish­er­men and Friends of the Sea (FFOS), Gary Aboud, says his Unit­ed States visa has been re­voked. Aboud told Guardian Me­dia he re­ceived an email from the US Em­bassy on Wednes­day in­form­ing him of the de­ci­sion.

“We are writ­ing to no­ti­fy you that your B1/B2 visa for trav­el to the Unit­ed States has been pru­den­tial­ly re­voked. This email is con­sid­ered of­fi­cial no­ti­fi­ca­tion of that re­vo­ca­tion,” the cor­re­spon­dence in­formed Aboud.

The Em­bassy said it took the ac­tion based on in­for­ma­tion that be­came avail­able af­ter the visa was is­sued, in­di­cat­ing that he may be in­ad­mis­si­ble to the Unit­ed States and there­fore in­el­i­gi­ble to re­ceive a visa.
