Dai Kewu from Tonghua Iron and Steel Company in Jilin Province Died as a Result of the Persecution

Mr. Dai Kewu was born in 1950, and was an employee of the Tonghua Iron and Steel Company in Jilin Province. He was fortunate to learn Falun Dafa in 1995, and benefited physically and mentally from the practice. He strictly lived by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

After the persecution began on July 20, 1999, Mr. Dai went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Dafa. He was illegally arrested by the police in October 1999 and detained for several days. In March 2000, Mr. Dai was detained and then sentenced to one year of forced labor; and again sentenced to two years of forced labor in 2002. He suffered from torture by police officers and prisoners at the Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp in Changsha. His whole body was swollen; he lost the capability of taking care of himself, and became critically ill. The police of the labor camp told his family to take him home, due to fear of having to take responsibility for his death.

After Mr. Dai's return home, the police continued to harass him many times. Personnel from the water heating section of the Tonghua Iron and Steel Company stopped issuing him his wages. Due to ongoing mental and physical abuse by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents, Dai Kewu had to be hospitalized many times. His health continued to get worse, and he died on December 31, 2006.
