The US list is more extensive.

for example, the Anglican Bishop of Harare is on the list.

And the list also binds spouses and children.

Last month a general's wife was refused a US visa to attend a convention, a Businessman was refused a visa and children of politicians who had returned to Zim on a holiday were refused permission to return to school in the US.
