The detention center shall arrange a meeting in time, no later than forty-eight hours. Defense lawyers are not monitored when meeting with criminal suspects and defendants. If it is a crime of endangering national security or terrorist activities, the defense lawyer shall obtain the permission of the investigation organ when meeting the criminal suspect in custody during the investigation.

Article 39 of the Criminal Procedure Law: A defense lawyer may meet and correspond with a criminal suspect or defendant in custody. Other defenders, with the permission of the people's courts and people's procuratorates, may also meet and correspond with criminal suspects and defendants in custody. If a defense lawyer holds a lawyer's practice certificate, a law firm's certificate, a power of attorney or a letter of legal aid to ask for a meeting with the criminal suspect or defendant in custody, the detention center shall arrange the meeting in time, which shall not exceed 48 hours at the latest. In criminal cases endangering national security and terrorist activities, defense lawyers should obtain permission from the investigation organ when meeting with the criminal suspect in custody during the investigation. The investigation organ shall notify the detention center of the above situation in advance.
