Dozens are gathering outside the Presidential Administration building in Moscow on Wednesday, September 18, to take part in pickets in support of actor Pavel Ustinov.

On Monday, Moscow's Tverskoy District Court sentenced Ustinov to 3.5 years in a general penal colony for “attacking a riot police officer” during an unauthorised rally in Moscow on August 3.

A number of Russian celebrities spoke out in support of Pavel Ustinov following the verdict.

Press Secretary for the Russian President, Dmitri Peskov, commented on the case saying that: “there is a verdict, and a lawful right to appeal which can be used in this case.”
