interdict
Authoritative legal prohibition
To interdict is to prohibit or forbid authoritatively, or to cut off and block: The navy interdicted weapons shipments.
Military interdiction targets enemy supply lines.
In law, an interdict is a court order prohibiting an action.
In Catholic practice, an interdict bars a person or place from sacraments and religious services—a sanction short of excommunication.
