Ben Cardin: “It is clear with the information that we have received the type of conduct that they perpetrated in Russia...”

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

We are going to do something about this.

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

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.
