(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Dai Jun from Mishan City, Heilongjiang Province was released from Mudanjiang Prison on April 26, 2008 after having served a six-year prison term. He was almost blind as a result of the abuse he suffered. He couldn't see anything clearly beyond one meter. He passed away on December 7, 2010.
Mr. Dai Jun started practicing Falun Gong in 1995. After July 20, 1999, he was illegally arrested twice for appealing for justice for Falun Gong. Police station authorities in Beijing confiscated, without a receipt, much of his personal property including his motorcycle, TV set, and computer. Mr. Dai Jun's household registration was in Mishan, so the Beijing police notified the Mishan Police Department and sent him back to Mishan. Mishan Political and Security Section head Meng Qingqi took him to the Jixi Forced Labor Camp.
After serving a year of forced labor, and a period of being away from home to avoid further persecution, Mr. Dai Jun ended up in Jixi City.
He was arrested again for printing and distributing truth-clarification materials on April 25, 2002. Officers from the Political and Security Section of the Jixi Police Department brutally beat him and called for assistance from the Criminal Team of the Jiguan District Branch Police Department.
They started a three-day, around-the-clock torture session against Mr. Dai. They deprived him of sleep and food. They cuffed his hands and feet together, lifted his feet up behind his neck, and then pushed him on the ground back and forth, scraping his back and spine against the ground. It was so painful that he almost lost consciousness. They used the tiger bench torture on him, covered his head with a heavy and hard hat, force-fed him with spicy mustard extract, exposd him to cold air, stabbed and burned his feet, cuffed his hands behind his back, and kicked and beat him with batons. The police also bound his feet with sticks and cuffed them, and then kicked him repeatedly until he lost feeling in his legs and had difficulty walking. He needed support just to walk into the courtroom.

After three days of brutal torture, they sent Mr. Dai to the detention center. Mr. Dai often felt dizzy and nauseous. His limbs were numb and immobile, and his eyesight was weakened. Mr. Dai also suffered many rounds of beatings from personnel at the Jixi Detention Center.
Mr. Dai Jun was illegally sentenced by the Jiguan District Court of Jixi City to six years of imprisonment in September 2003. The authorities held him at Hada Prison on November 9, 2003, and then secretly transferred him to Jianshanzi Prison in Mudanjiang City in mid-November 2003.
Mr. Dai was released from Mudanjiang Prison on April 2, 2008. He was nearly blind, and couldn't see anything beyond one meter. He couldn't see words beyond 15 cm when he tried to read.
Mr. Dai couldn't find a proper job because of his blurred vision and poor health. The difficulties he had just living from day to day made it hard for him to regain his health. His father took him to a hospital on the evening of December 3, 2010. Doctors performed a lumbar puncture, extracted spinal fluid and ran some tests on him. Mr. Dai, who had been able to eat, drink, and speak, was finally unable to talk and could only breathe through his mouth. Two days later, he could only nod his head to express his understanding of what his relatives and practitioners said. Mr. Dai passed away at 2:25 p.m. on December 7, 2010.
