Share TweetBy the Associated PressTwo Russian protesters were convicted Tuesday of attempted assault and assault on a police officer in a case that’s largely been seen as a crackdown on political opposition. Samariddin Radzhabov, 21, was arrested at a July 27 anti-government rally in Moscow on accusations of throwing a plastic bottle at police officers. Moscow’s Meshchansky District Court sentenced Radzhabov to a fine and immediately commuted his sentence with credit for time served. Separately, the city’s Tverskoy District Court sentenced Surovtsev to 2 1/2 years in prison.
