On 20 September 2009, Mr. Walid Hosni, a third-year student at the Higher School of Medical Sciences in Tunis, disappeared under circumstances that remain unclear to this day. 

Mr. Hosni, 22 years old, left his home at 6:30 AM as usual to run daily errands, without carrying any identification or a significant amount of money. Since then, his family has had no news of him and remains completely unaware of his fate, despite numerous attempts to obtain information from various authorities.

In a letter addressed to the Italian Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Geneva, Alkarama strongly condemned the Italian authorities for allowing Osama Njeim al-Masri, head of the Judicial Police Authority in Libya and accused of crimes against humanity, to evade justice after being arrested pursuant to an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant.
