[1] “Residential surveillance” is one of the enforcement measures prescribed in the PRC Criminal Procedure Law (CPL, Articles 64, 69, 72-75). Article 73 of the CPL states that “Residential confinement shall be executed at the residence of a criminal suspect or defendant; or may be executed at a designated residence if the criminal suspect or defendant has no fixed residence. Where execution of residential confinement at the residence of a criminal suspect or defendant in a case regarding compromising national security, terrorist activities, or extraordinarily significant bribery may obstruct criminal investigation, it may be executed at a designated residence with the approval of the people’s procuratorate or public security authority at the next higher level. However, residential confinement may not be executed at a place of custody or a place specially used for handling cases.” According to our experience, the coercive measures would lead to torture easily.

[2] Refer to footnote (1)

[3] Criminal Detention: The names in this list are all criminally detained. According to China’s Criminal Procedural Law, when police detains someone, they have to present a warrant.
