According to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, a criminal suspect may hire a lawyer to provide him with legal advice, Acting for grievances and accusations. Therefore, as long as the public security organs try criminal suspects, they can entrust lawyers. If a criminal suspect is under criminal detention, the hired lawyer can apply for release on bail pending trial. The entrusted lawyer has the right to learn from the investigation agency about the crime the criminal suspect has been charged with, meet with the criminal suspect in custody, and learn about the case from the criminal suspect. After a criminal suspect is detained, only lawyers can meet with him to learn about the case and see whether he has been tortured to extract a confession and whether his basic rights and interests are protected. Lawyers are not monitored when meeting with criminal suspects in custody.
