Guards at the Leczyca prison in central Poland have again beaten political captives, and former Solidarity union official Wladyslaw Frasyniuk may have suffered a broken rib, an activist in the banned union said. The injury occurred when Frasyniuk was moved forcibly into solitary confinement last week, Zbigniew Romaszewski said in a signed statement circulated in Warsaw. Other prisoners were beaten at about the same time, the statement added. Last month, an official said force was used to move inmates to new cells.
