MOSCOW: A Moscow court on Monday overturned a prison sentence for actor Pavel Ustinov, giving him instead a one-year suspended sentence, in a case that has sparked protests and a major solidarity campaign.
Ustinov, 23, was this month sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison for violence against police at an opposition protest, despite his insistence he was simply a bystander.A judge at the Moscow City Court said on Monday that the ruling by Moscow's Tverskoi district court should be changed, an AFP correspondent said.
The hearing took place after more than 25,000 people took part in an authorised opposition rally in Moscow on Sunday in support of those detained at anti-government protests, according to an independent monitor.
