On 27 October 2009, Alkarama informed the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances and the Special Rapporteur on Torture of these reappearances, and also reminding them of those who remain disappeared. Alkarama's fears that they are suffering torture and ill-treatment have not subsided and the lack of information concerning their whereabouts is evidence of the precarious human rights situation that currently plagues Iraq.
