Activists denounce China’s secret residential surveillance system (Erin Hale, Al Jazeera)

On September 24, Chinese authorities released Canadians Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig after detaining them for more than 1,000 days. The pair were not held in an ordinary prison but were instead placed in “Residential Surveillance at a Designated Location” (RSDL), conditions that have been compared with enforced disappearance by rights groups.

Both Canadians had limited access to a lawyer or consular services and lived in cells with lights on 24 hours a day.
