Costa Rican lawmaker says the US revoked her visa over alleged ties to Chinese Communist Party
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica — The vice president of Costa Rica's Congress said Thursday that the U.S. embassy told her the U.S. had revoked her visa because of alleged contacts with the Chinese Communist Party.
Vanessa Castro of the opposition Social Christian Unity Party, speaking in the Legislative Assembly, denied such ties and said that media outlets allied with President Rodrigo Chaves knew her U.S. visa had been revoked before she did.
