On 17 November 2014, Alkarama sent an urgent appeal the United Nations Working Group on Enforced and Involuntary Disappearances (WGEID) regarding the case of Yasser Ahmed Ahmed Abu Eita, a 23-year-old Egyptian citizen, disappeared since his arrest by the police forces in the streets of Damietta Port on 2 November 2014.
On 22 October 2014, Alkarama and AFD International wrote to the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) to alert them on the case of Mohamed Abdelhamid Abdelhamid Kharaba, a university professor arbitrarily detained in Alexandria's Al-Hadra prison since his arrest on 24 November 2013. His family claims that Kharaba's fight against corruption at the University of Alexandria is the reason for his arrest. For this reason, his relatives reject the fabricated allegations against him.
On 5 November 2014, Egypt's second Universal Periodic Review (UPR) was held at the Palais des Nations in Geneva. This process aims to assess the human rights record of each United Nations' Member State by the Human Rights Council (HRC). Since its first review in February 2010, Egypt has undergone major political upheavals. However, despite the hopes raised by the revolution and the statements made by the Egyptian authorities on the respect of fundamental freedoms in the country, the human rights situation in Egypt remains more preoccupying than ever.
Alkarama welcomes the release, on 6 November 2014, of 19-year-old student, Aliaa Tarek Mohammad Alsayed, whose family had not heard from since her abduction by the Egyptian security forces at the Al Azhar University campus in Cairo on 20 October 2014.
