On 7 December 2015, Eyad Qunaibi, a 40-year-old professor in pharmacology, was sentenced to two years imprisonment by the State Security Court for "incitement against the political regime" for having published a Facebook post, on 10 June 2015, criticising, among others, his country's ties with Israel and the westernisation of Jordanian society. Considering that the free expression of Dr Qunaibi's critical opinion should in no way constitute a crime, Alkarama called on the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to Freedom of Opinion and Expression (SR Freedex) asking him to urge the Jordanian authorities to revoke their decision.

On 9 December 2015, the United Nations Committee against Torture (CAT) expressed its concern over the practice of torture in Jordan in its concluding observations, issued after the Committee analysed Jordan's National Report and engaged in a constructive dialogue with the State to assess the implementation of the Convention against Torture (UNCAT) in the country. The UN experts were especially concerned over the lack of appropriate criminalisation of torture in Jordan's legislation; the broad definition of terrorism applied by the State; the use of torture in order to extract confessions – in particular by the General Intelligence Directorate – and the conditions of detention and lack of fundamental guarantees for detainees. All the issues highlighted by the Committee had previously been raised by Alkarama in its shadow report sent to the CAT in view of the country's review.

On 23 October 2015, Alkarama sent its shadow report on the use of torture in Jordan to the United Nations Committee against Torture (CAT), in view of the country's upcoming review by the Committee during its 56th session. Despite recognising that several positive steps were taken by the Jordanian government since its last review in 2010, Alkarama report highlights that torture and other ill-treatments in Jordan continue to be used, especially by the Jordanian intelligence services who systematically arrest, detain and torture opposition figures, peaceful protesters and media workers under the Anti-Terrorism Law, with the aim to provide the State Security Court (SSC) with "confessions" that will then be used as an evidence.

On 29 July 2015, human rights activist Amer Jubran was sentenced to 10 years in prison by the State Security Court following an unfair trial during which confessions extracted under torture were admitted as evidence. In view of this decision, Amer appealed to the Cassation Court, which has not considered his case yet. Following this, Amer's friends and family sent a communication to the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) in September calling upon the Jordanian authorities to release him immediately, as well as launched a campaign on his behalf.
