Ben Cardin: “The Transnational Repression Policy Act... includes provisions in all these areas and we urge its passage.”

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.

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.

If Putin is so mad about this, probably there will be some other dictators that would not like it as well

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