Benjamin L. Cardin: “There is no more important subject today than NATO and the strength of NATO.”

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

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

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.

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