Human rights activists are searching those guilty of death of Georgian native Manana Jabelia

On December 6, the Independent Press Centre held a press conference on the death of Manana Jabelia, a forced migrant from Abkhazia. The participants of the event were Liudmila Alekseeva, chair of the Moscow Helsinki Group, Svetlana Gannushkina, chair of the "Civil Assistance" Committee, Irina Bergalieva, leader of the movement "Hostels of Moscow," and Noko Kvartskhelia, Manana's son.

Svetlana Gannushkina has noted that the conditions of temporary custody of foreign citizens are almost same as in prison.

Irina Bergalieva, chair of the movement "Hostels of Moscow," said that after the death of the Abkhazian refugee, Zurab Pataradze, consul of Georgia, was let neither to the Centre of temporary Detainment, nor into the morgue. Manana Jabelia's relatives were not allowed to talk with the cell neighbours and were driven out by the attendants.

"I think that Olga Chubarova, Judge of the Nagatinskiy Court, is guilty of the death of Manana Jabelia. And I promise that we'll do the utmost to stop Chubarova from being a judge," Liudmila Alekseeva, chair the Moscow Helsinki Group, has promised.

Noko Kvartskhelia, Manana Jabelia's son, is also accusing Judge Olga Chubarova of his mother's death, since she had ignored the appeal to temporarily release the sick woman from custody and protracted to deliver the documents from the Nagatinskiy Court to the administration of the special reception centre.

We remind you that Manana Jabelia died on the night of December 1-2 at the temporary reception centre for foreign citizens.
