      A man's been sentenced to 1.5 years in prison for drunkenly stabbing a police officer at a Moscow train station. Meanwhile Pavel Ustinov faces 6yrs in prison after he was tackled by police while talking on his phone near an opposition protest. @mediazzzona https://zona.media/news/2019/09/13/armenia/amp/?__twitter_impression=true …pic.twitter.com/Z8Eu2OqYw9

      Actor Pavel Ustinov sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for supposedly hurting a riot policeman's shoulder while being arrested at a Moscow protest. If you watch the video the accusation sounds ludicrous, but the judge didn't allow it to be shown in court https://www.bbc.com/russian/amp/news-49672025?__twitter_impression=true …pic.twitter.com/XEWHRQUGuO

          A riot policeman testified that Pavel Ustinov wrenched his shoulder & was chanting "Putin is a thief" & "Shame." Videos show that he was looking at his phone when he was suddenly tackled & beaten. His prison sentence of 3.5 years is even more Kafkaesque than usualpic.twitter.com/HZH3yLHyzG

          Actor Alexander Pal, who called the pickets outside the presidential administration today, was released from jail after the August 3 protest thanks to a phone call from the presidential administration. He called such preferential treatment an "absurdity"https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/09/18/prison-sentence-russian-actor-caught-protest-arrests-sparks/ …

          That was quick. After pickets led by well-known actors the prosecutor has asked to change actor Pavel Ustinov's 3.5yr prison term to a suspended sentencehttps://tvrain.ru/news/genprokuratura_poprosit_smjagchit_prigovor_pavlu_ustinovu-493890/?utm_source=chromeweb&utm_medium=push&utm_campaign=news&utm_term=493890 …
