Russian reporter with Tajik weekly `missing` in Syria
Russian journalist Aleksandr Rybin, who was reporting from Syria for the Tajik weekly “Business and Politics” reportedly went missing ten days ago, Radio Liberty reported.
The weekly's editor-in-chief, Dzhamshed Ulmasov said Rybin’s companion, Anastasia Pichugina, who remains in Syria, sent a message through Skype saying that Rybin left the seaside town of Latakia on January 20 and "he has not been heard from since then."
The paper asked the Russian embassy in Damascus for help.
The embassy confirmed this news but said they were waiting “for an official letter to arrive” to start the search.
