On 4 August 2015, Alkarama, in cooperation with Al Wissam Humanitarian Assembly, sent a communication to the United Nations Committee on Enforced Disappearances (CED) regarding the case of Omar Al Samarrai, a 39-year-old Iraqi citizen who disappeared following his arrest by the "Al Hussam" Brigade in December 2007. Since his arrest, Al Samarrai's family has been constantly blackmailed by members of the security services who have been asking for money in exchange for his release.
