Several defence lawyers, as well as leading legal academics interviewed by the Special Rapporteur, claimed that meetings between lawyers and detainees were closely supervised by the authorities and were often subjected to strict time limits, that lawyers could hardly obtain the necessary information from the prosecution, that lawyers who have too vigorously defended their clients can be detained and convicted of various crimes.
特别报告员与之交谈的一些辩护律师和著名的法律学者称，律师和被监管人之间的会见受到主管部门的密切监视，并常常有严格的时间限制，律师几乎不能从检方获得必要的资料，那些为其委托人辩护过于有力的律师可能被拘留并以各种罪名定罪。
