On 24 June 2015 at 5.30pm, Alkarama will launch its new report on "Traumatising Skies: U.S. Drone Operations and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) among Civilians in Yemen." The event will take the form of an online discussion will feature a panel of four experts from diverse backgrounds, including military, legal and psychiatry.

On 14 May 2015, Alkarama has provided the United Nations Secretary General (UNSG) Ban Ki-moon with a report on the state of reprisals in the Arab world and in particular on individuals who have suffered from harassment and intimidation for their cooperation with the UN, especially in Oman, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Despite repeated calls to end reprisals, Arab States continue to relentlessly attack all Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) cooperating with the UN and systematically seek to undermine the work of UN experts and Special Rapporteurs, leaving a shrinking civil society space behind them.

On the occasion of World Press Freedom Day, celebrated globally on 3 May, Alkarama wishes to highlight the cases of the following activists, whose right to freely exercise their profession of journalists has been violated. Far from being exhaustive, this list wants to raise awareness of the general public on those cases by providing a brief overview of the phenomenon in some specific countries.

At the launch of its annual report in Geneva on 26 March, Alkarama chastised Arab States for trying to undermine, not only the United Nations human rights system, but also Arab civil society, all this under the pretext of countering terrorism, a label that has become the weapon of choice for authoritarian regimes to stifle criticism.
