On 17 May 2015, the Egyptian authorities announced having carried out the death penalty against Mohamed Ali Afifi Badawi, Mohammad Bakri Mohammad Harun, Hani Mustafa Amine Amer, Abdul-Rahman Sayed Rizq, Khaled Farag Mohammed Mohammed Ali and Islam Sayed Ahmed Ibrahim aged between 19 and 33 years of age. These six men had been unlawfully sentenced to death by a military court on 21 October 2014 for crimes they could not have committed, since they were secretly detained at the time when these acts occurred. In order to remedy to their situation, Alkarama had sent an urgent appeal to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, arbitrary and summary executions (SR SUMX) on 8 April 2015 calling upon him to ask the Egyptian authorities to halt the six executions and to grant the victims a new, fair, impartial and civilian trial.

On 18 May 2015, Alkarama sent an urgent appeal to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions (SUMX) regarding the sentencing to death of Mohamed Morsi, first democratically elected president of Egypt, together with 105 co-defendants for having escaped the Al Wadi Natrun prison during the 2011 revolution. Dr Morsi was sentenced to death despite a December 2013 Opinion by the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) finding "the deprivation of liberty of Dr. Morsi and his advisors (...) arbitrary." The Opinion followed an urgent appeal sent by Alkarama on 10 July 2013 in which Alkarama considered the arrest of Morsi and his co-defendants as a violation, not only of their rights to liberty and to security, but also of their right to fair trial procedures, and called upon the WGAD to intervene to protect them from torture and secure their release.

On 7 May 2015, Alkarama sent an urgent appeal to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture (SRT) regarding the arbitrary detention, torture and continuous ill-treatment of two children, 16-year-old Ahmed Shaaban Youssef and his 14-year-old brother, Ibrahim Shaaban Youssef, since their respective arrests on 22 February 2014 and 3 January 2015. Now unlawfully detained in a prison for adults, both are still subjected to ill-treatment and remain at high risk of torture in retaliation for their participation in peaceful demonstrations.

On 1 May 2015, Alkarama sent an urgent appeal to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture (SRT) and the Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health (SRH) regarding the continuous detention of former parliamentarian Mohammed Mohammed Mohammed Al Fallahgi since his arrest by the Homeland Security on 26 August 2013. In retaliation for his political stand, the prison authorities have also reportedly tortured Al Fallahgi and, although he suffers from several health issues, they are deliberately putting his life at risk by keeping on refusing him access to the medical care he requires.
