According to the regulations, the residents under surveillance are not allowed to meet others without the approval of the executive organ. However, other people here do not include family members who live with the person who is under residential surveillance and the lawyer hired. From this point of view, the hired lawyer can meet the residents under surveillance, and the approval of the executive organ is not required at this time. A criminal suspect whose residence is under surveillance shall not meet others without the approval of the executing organ. The "others" here refer to family members living with the residents under surveillance, as well as people other than lawyers hired. If a person living under surveillance wants to meet others, he must obtain the consent of the executive organ before meeting.
