Benjamin L. Cardin: “Freedom House is pleased to support the Human Rights Defenders Protection Act, led by Chairman Cardin.”

I support that, but whether we will ever get to that point, my concern is it is going to be years down the road, and we are going to have another Moldova and another Georgia.

Senator Cardin, I thank you for your leadership in championing the Global Magnitsky Act.

We imposed sanctions on the individual.

why do we not widen this piece of legislation out so it includes all human rights abusers in Russia?
