	Jehovah's Witnesses: September 8, 2000 News Release
		ZUGDIDI, GEORGIA—Today a troop of club-wielding police broke up a convention of Jehovah's Witnesses by beating several delegates, setting fire to private property and detonating cannon shells.
		The mayor of Zugdidi, as well as military and police officials, had threatened the convention organizers that they would not allow the convention to proceed, said Genadi Gudadze, a convention speaker from Tbilisi who was present during the attack.

		Uninhabited areas are currently not being visited; patrolling in groups of two vehicles at all times has been instated in the Zugdidi sector; and patrolling by bicycles and on foot has been suspended, as has close monitoring of the crossing points over the Inguri River.

		On 29 September, several items of heavy military equipment were introduced into the restricted weapons zone of the Zugdidi sector in the context of a military exercise in the Kulevi training area, part of which is within the restricted weapons zone.

		The plan endorsed in April 1994 by Abkhazia, Georgia, Russia and the UNHCR called for the repatriation of the displaced population in stages, starting with some 80,000 people who fled the Gali region in southeastern Abkhazia as defeated Georgian troops retreated in September 1993.
		But it also casts a wide net over all men of fighting age, excluding them for past as well as possible future activity; moreover, the time-frame for the screening process is open-ended, allowing the authorities to assess someone at any time.
		While the women and children related to excluded men would be allowed to return, critics point to the destabilizing effect of long-term family separation, and the massing of a restive male exile population on the Zugdidi side of the border.
