A 58-year-old Georgian citizen died on October 17 at a Moscow airport as he was being detained for subsequent deportation to Georgia.

According to Russian medical personnel, Tengiz Togonidze died from an asthma attack at the Domodedovo Airport after doctors were unable to revive him. Prior to being brought to Moscow for deportation, Togonidze was first detained after being arrested with another 36 Georgian citizens in a police sweep in St. Petersburg for failing to have a proper residency permit.
