(Clearwisdom.net) 1. [Tianjin] Tianjin Women's Forced Labor Camp Guards Intensify Persecution
of Falun Dafa Practitioners Tianjin Women's Forced Labor Camp has launched a new round of severe
persecution against Falun Dafa practitioners in Unit 1 who refuse to renounce
their belief in Falun Dafa. Practitioners who are being targeted include: An
Yuzhi, Zhao Shuxia, Chen Ruiqin, Cui Yanqing, Jiao Qihui, Zhang Xingyun, Yang
Jing, He Qinying, Zhu Xijuan, Gao Tianhua, Wu Yuling, Li Shuzhi, Zhang Guiyun,
Wang Jingxiang, Gao Jianling, An Qi, Wang Haibo, Liu Shuqin, Li Xiufeng, and
Wang Chunhua. They are in a very dangerous situation. In order to coerce each practitioner into writing a Guarantee Statement or a
repentance statement (1), Tianjin authorities are awarding prison guards 10,000
to 20,000 yuan for each statement they procure. Driven by greed, the guards have
escalated the inhumane torture. The "acceptable number of deaths"
granted by the authorities has completely deprived the prison guards of human
nature. 2. [Tianjin] Liu Liankun Suffers Severe Torture in Banqiao Prison at Dagang Falun Dafa practitioner Liu Liankun is from the Beichen District in Tianjin,
