  • Falun Gong Practitioner Mr. Dai Jun from Mishan City, Heilongjiang Province Died as a Result of Persecution

    Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Dai Jun was released from Mudanjiang Prison on April 26th, 2008 after having served a six-year prison term. He was almost blind as a result of the abuse he suffered. Guards 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, exposed him to cold air, stabbed and burned his feet, cuffed his hands behind his back, and kicked and beat him with batons. Mr. Dai passed away on December 7th, 2010.

    Police arrested me in January 2001 and took me to a deserted courtyard to torture me. They covered my eyes and put a very heavy helmet on my head. A police officer punched and kicked me, as well as pounded on my helmet, making me rather dizzy. They hung me up on a beam and hit my feet with a square-shaped wooden stick over 200 times. As a result my hands and feet were black and blue and mangled. Blood was oozing out of all my toes. No matter what they did, I refused to answer any of their questions. Zhang Chunqiu was swearing and slandering Falun Gong continuously. He said, "I will beat you to death, just like killing a chicken."

A doctor ordered inmates to hold me down and force-fed me. As I struggled, my nose and throat were injured by the rubber tubing, and this happened repeatedly. In addition, the doctor intentionally pulled and pushed the tubing inside my nose, which caused even more bleeding. I once bled so much that they stopped in the middle, afraid of killing me."
