Benjamin L. Cardin: “Transnational repression is a direct attack on our security and rights.”

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

I introduced the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act as a way of saying that we will hold abusers accountable even if their own country does not.

If Putin is so mad about this, probably there will be some other dictators that would not like it as well

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