(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Dai Jun, 31 years old, from Mishan, Heilongjiang Province, worked in Beijing as a security guard for the Third Construction Company of Beijing. He started the practice of Falun Gong in 1995. Since July 20, 1999, he has been “illegally arrested” twice for appealing for Falun Gong. The authorities of a police station in Beijing confiscated, without a receipt, much of his personal property including his motorcycle, TV set, and computer. Mr. Dai Jun's household registration is in Mishan, so the Beijing police notified the Mishan City Police Department and sent him back to Mishan.
After serving a year of forced labor, and a period of being homeless to avoid further persecution, Mr. Dai Jun ended up in Jixi City. He was arrested again for printing and distributing Falun Gong “truth clarification” materials on April 25, 2002. He is now being held at Mudanjiang City Prison in Heilongjiang Province.
Officers from the Political Security Section of the Jixi Police Department brutally beat him and even called for assistance from the Criminal Team of the Jiguan District Branch Police Department. They tortured him around the clock: using the “Tiger Bench” torture, force-feeding him with spicy mustard extract, exposing him to cold air, stabbing and burning his feet, cuffing his hands behind his back, kicking and beating him with batons, etc. In order to prevent him from escaping, the police bound his feet with sticks and handcuffs, which caused him much difficulty in walking. After three days of brutal torture, they sent Mr. Dai to the detention center. Mr. Dai often feels dizzy and nauseous. Sometimes his limbs go numb and immobile, and his vision is blurred. Mr. Dai suffered many rounds of beatings from vicious personnel at the Jixi Detention Center. (for other details, please see: http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2004/8/27/51788.html)
Mr. Dai Jun was sentenced by the intermediate court of Jixi City to six years of imprisonment. The authorities held him at Hada Prison on November 9, 2003, and then transferred him secretly to Jianshanzi Prison in Mudanjiang City.
