Russian Judge Wounded in Syria

Sergey Berezhnoy, Deputy Chairman of Belgorod Arbitrazh (Economic) Court, was wounded in Syria, apparently by an anti-government sniper, during fights in Daraya near Damascus. It appears that Berezhnoy was in Syria as a "volonteer" reporter for the Abkhazian Network News Agency (ANNA-NEWS). Berezhnoy was hit by bullets twice, in the jaw and arm. Surgery was successfully performed on him in a military hospital.  Berezhnoy participated in the Abkhazian-Georgian war, for 5 years serving there as a military intelligence officer. He is also an author of military prose.
