Benjamin L. Cardin: “corruption threatens our national security, economic equity, global anti-poverty and development efforts, and democracy…”

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.

Senator Cardin, I thank you for your leadership in championing the Global Magnitsky Act.

What you have done to strengthen the transatlantic partnership is incredible.

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