Senator Ben Cardin on Russian Corruption
The Atlantic Wire – What Matters Now. By ERIC RANDALL
Senator Ben Cardin on Russian Corruption. In The Washington Post, Senator Ben Cardin recalls the story of Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian whistleblower who was arrested by those he accused, kept in “torturous” conditions, and denied healthcare as he died in isolation. The Russian government has admitted these facts, but those involved in the scandal remain in positions of power. The United States should take whatever steps possible to hold these Russians accountable, Cardin says. Magnitsky’s case is just one of many examples of gross corruption in Russia and elsewhere. “The Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act, which I co-sponsored along with 20 other senators, is a broad human rights bill that would invoke a travel ban against serious violators of human rights, freeze any U.S. assets they may possess and publish their names–a powerful deterrent for those craving respectability and legitimacy in the West.” Such a measure will send an important signal both to the corrupt and to those who fight against them, and may protect American companies working in Russia. Cardin supports President Obama’s efforts to warm U.S.-Russian relations but says that only through liberalizing policies can Russia really develop. Encouraging such priorities is especially important in a year that will see elections in both Russia and the United States, Cardin concludes. займ на карту срочно без отказа hairy girl female wrestling zp-pdl.com https://zp-pdl.com/online-payday-loans-cash-advances.php unshaven girl
