A Georgian woman, Manana Dzhabelia, has been murdered by Russian police on December 2 in a prison in the Russian capital.

It is the second such murder committed by Russian police that became known since Moscow began detaining thousands o Georgians for allegedly breaking immigration rules.
Ms Dzhabelia has lived in Russia for more than 10 years after fleeing a Russian-inspired war in Georgia's province of Abkhazia. She was detained in early October and a several days later a court ruled to expel her to Georgia.
Ms Dzhabelia filed an appeal and a Moscow court overturned the deportation ruling on Thursday. However, law enforcement officers returned her to the prison.
