Somehow I think there is a real possibility more will happen.

Barring them from leaving the country feels a bit sinister for people who haven't been accused of committing any crimes.

I don't claim to know what's going on outside of what's being reported, but I'm reminded of other individuals who have "stepped out of line" (as determined by Beijing) and were also either barred from the country or mysteriously disappeared for weeks or months at a time only to randomly reappear at some point singing a different tune.
