Benjamin L. Cardin: “We urge Congress to strengthen the U.S. response to transnational repression.”

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

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