1. [Wuhan City, Hebei Province] Several Dozen Inmates Beat Four Falun Gong Practitioners in the Qinduankou Prison
At 6:30 p.m. on October 10, 2004, four Falun Gong practitioners were beaten. They were Zhou Jianwu, Hu Zhigang, Zhang Qingming and Zhu Feng, who were held in the No.3 Sub-district, No. 1 District, Qinduankou Prison. The perpetrators were dozens of inmates who did this simply because the practitioners didn't answer roll call.
At 7:30 a.m. on October 11, Zhou Jianwu was beaten up again by many inmates for the same reason. The most vicious ones included Yang Guoqiang, Yao Xian'an, Liu Zhigang, Long Bin and Zhang Shijun. Policemen who incited them to beat up practitioners are Cheng Guanghai (main instigator), Cha Zhongping, and Tong Feng. After that, ten policemen and an official with the last name of Li from the Discipline Committee went to the cell, handcuffed the four practitioners and separated them. After beating and kicking the practitioners for a while, they had two policemen take each practitioner to solitary confinement. When going down the stairs, the four practitioners were still loudly calling out, "Falun Dafa is great."
As it was time for the inmates to go to work in the morning, all of them were watching. Hu Zhigang was beaten so badly that his mouth became swollen and bleeding. The other practitioners suffered similar fates. After being taken to the solitary confinement cells, the four practitioners were beaten so severely that they couldn't straighten their backs or raise their arms. Prison policeman Chen Chuanhong bragged in a meeting, "Today, everybody did a great job. They deserved the beating, and you don't need to take responsibility. If the higher-ups investigate, you can simply deny it."
A practitioner held in No. 12 Sub-district, No.1 Prison District was beaten so severely that his legs were fractured. The details are being further investigated.

They arrested four people including Zhai Xiaose, Li Xiaomin from Beiguo Village, Xiao Fang from Xiangguan and another practitioner from Shiwu Village. Later on, their family members went to the village police station to demand the practitioners' release.

Wu Junbang and others from Madian Township's Police Station also participated in the persecution.
