Iraq was recently called upon by the UN Committee on Enforced Disappearances to reveal the fate of Ibrahim Sobhi Moussa Alwan Al Jabouri, Ali Alwan Khalaf Al Janabi and Amer Abdul Majeed Al-Tikriti, who have been missing for many years now. 

At its last session, the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) examined the case of Saudi religious figure Safar Al Hawali, who has been arbitrarily detained since his arrest by state security agents in July 2018.

On 26 June, several Tunisian human rights organisations launched a series of events to defend the right to life and human dignity as well as to fight torture in the country on the occasion of the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture under the slogan "No to torture!"

In early June 2023, Alkarama sent an urgent appeal to the United Nations Committee on Enforced Disappearance regarding Dr. Mohamed Ali Abdullah Al Jazouli, who was abducted by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan.

On 23 May 2023, Alkarama referred to the United Nations Special Procedures, including the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD), the case of four Yemeni nationals arrested by the police on 23 April 2022 in the Taif region of southern Saudi Arabia under the pretext of being affiliated with the Houthi group in Yemen while on their way to "Umrah",  (religious pilgrimage) to Mecca. 

On 11 May 2023, Alkarama sent an urgent appeal to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on torture calling on Iraq to refrain from returning Mr. Azmi Derri Mohamed AL HADDAR, a Syrian national arbitrarily detained in Al Rusafa prison in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. 

Arrest and sentencing of Al Haddar 

Alkarama strongly condemns Jordan's extradition of Emirati businessman Khalaf Abdulrahman Al Rumaithi – sentenced in absentia to 15 years in prison in connection with the so-called "UAE 94" case by the Abu Dhabi authorities - despite the risk of torture and ill-treatment and in flagrant violation of the Convention against Torture to which Jordan is a party.
