(Clearwisdom.net) On August 25, the No. 4 Prison in Hebei Province reopened after a brief renovation. On the same day, officials detained four Falun Dafa practitioners there. Three of the practitioners were, Guo Zhijiang from the 7th division, Jin Hui from the 3rd division, and Zhang Zhishui from the 8th division. Violent inmates were instigated by the police to torture practitioners day and night. The practitioners were forbidden to sleep, go to the bathroom, talk or move. If anyone closed their eyes or moved slightly, they were savagely beaten. The police force-fed the practitioners on hunger strike with highly concentrated salt water.

On August 18, Dafa practitioner Cai Baohua was put in solitary confinement by fifth division police officer Yu Chunguang for exercising in the morning. The police ordered several inmates to force feed Cai Baohua when he started a hunger strike.

On August 16, the police from the sixth division instigated violent inmates to beat four Dafa practitioners in public. Bruises left from the beatings were still noticeable several days later on the right side of the face of Yang Jingang and the right arm of Ke Xingguo. Yang Jinggang used to be a teacher at the Baoding Middle School. He has been persecuted severely since 2003.
