Ben Cardin: “The impact of the Sergei Magnitsky Act in spotlighting human rights abuses in Russia is visible.”

We imposed sanctions on the individual.

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.

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

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.
