Benjamin L. Cardin: “We should not be trying to micromanage the internal politics of Colombia, but rather establish a long-term partnership…”

Freedom House is pleased to support the Human Rights Defenders Protection Act, led by Chairman Cardin.

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

You have found the Achilles hill of the Putin regime. They rape, torture and kill with impunity and keep their ill-gotten gains in the West.

I appreciate that, and I support everything you just said...
