Families of Yemeni detainees in Guantanamo Bay, UAE, have expressed their joy at the release of their 12 detainees after a journey of suffering that lasted nearly 20 years, expressing their thanks for the efforts of human rights organisations that supported their claims and made their voices heard in the world, until their  freedom was finally restored

Alkarama expresses its shock at the death of Saudi academic Musa Al-Qarni while in detention due to his deteriorating health, after nearly 15 years of detention, despite the publication of a UN resolution confirming the arbitrary nature of his detention along with eight other personalities, including political activist Saud Mukhtar Al-Hashemi, on whose behalf Alkarama wrote to the UN special procedures.

The undersigned civil society organisations express their condemnation and deep disappointment at the decision of the UN Human Rights Council to terminate the mandate of the Panel of Eminent Experts on Yemen, the only impartial international mechanism tasked with investigating human rights violations and gross violations of human rights and humanitarian law committed by all parties to the armed conflict in the country.

Alkarama and some 30 human rights non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have invited member states of the UN General Assembly to join the "Joint Interregional Statement on Reprisals during the Interactive Dialogue with the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders".

On 28 September 2021, Alkarama submitted a case to the UN Working Group on Enforced Disappearances regarding the case of two Yemenis, Abkar Abdallah Abed Yahya BARKHALI and Tareq Ahmed Said Mohammed KHALEQ, both abducted in the course of 2016 by Houthi militiamen in the governorate of Al Hudaydah in western Yemen.

Former Yemeni prisoner Abdul Qadir Al Shaibani (Al Budhaiji) died a few weeks after his release in a very poor state of health, as a result of enforced disappearance, detention conditions and torture.
Alkarama launched an urgent appeal concerning Al-Shaibani to the United Nations Working Group on Enforced and Involuntary Disappearances.

On 15 September 2021, the Association of Victims of Torture in Tunisia (AVTT) and Alkarama addressed the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention regarding the situation of the former Minister of Information Technology and Digital Economy, Mr Anouar MAAROUF, and the MP and President of the Parliamentary Committee on Defence, Mr Yousri DALY, who have been under house arrest since 05 and 18 August 2021 respectively.

 Alkarama and the Cairo Centre for Human Rights Studies, along with Yemeni human rights organisations, issued an urgent appeal to the UN Special Procedures on 24 September, regarding the implementation of the de facto authorities in Sana'a, the Houthi group "Ansar Allah. The appeal also concerns the unlawful sentencing to death of 9 Yemenis and the request for urgent intervention to stop arbitrary executions of detainees, as well as to address arbitrary detention by all parties to the conflict.

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has expressed serious concern about the situation in Yemen, where all parties to the conflict continue to violate human rights and international humanitarian law in defiance of the fundamental principles of the rule of law.

Alkarama has written to the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances regarding three Yemenis who were arbitrarily arrested by the de facto authorities in Hudaydah, western Yemen, and taken to unknown destinations. Their families still do not know their fate to this day.
