On 17 December 2010, Alkarama submitted Ayman Ahmed Salem's case to the Special Rapporteur on torture, following Mr Salem's arrest and disappearance, seeking his intervention with the Egyptian authorities, as current fears are that Mr Salem risks torture while in incommunicado detention.

Alkarama has dealt with a number of cases of disappearance in Egypt, many of which endure long periods before being release is granted or charges are laid. Following the reappearance of several the victims of disappearance in Egypt, Alkarama now knows that were been detained in incommunicado where they were repeatedly tortured and detained under inhumane conditions.

Alkarama fears for Mr Ayman Salem's physical and mental integrity and requests the Egyptian authorities to immediately bring an end to this violation by either releasing him or giving him a fair trial, in which he receives all the guarantees necessary for his defence.
