Benjamin L. Cardin: “What you have done to strengthen the transatlantic partnership is incredible.”

Thank you very much for holding this hearing on the implementation of Global Magnitsky sanctions.

Nowhere has this been more on display than what has occurred in Hong Kong in recent years as the passage of the National Security Law and entry into force of Article 23 destroyed what remains of Hong Kong's democracy.

If Putin hates this so much, we're sure that there are a lot of other dictators who would hate this as well.

I thank Senator Cardin for his leadership in championing the Global Magnitsky Act.
