On 1 October 2014, Alkarama sent an urgent appeal before the United Nations Special Procedures concerning the arbitrary detention and torture of Rawda Jamal Abd Al Azzem, an 18 year-old student arrested by the Egyptian police on 28 December 2013, in Nasr City.

On 23 September 2014, Alkarama sent an urgent appeal to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture regarding the case of Ahmed Rashad, a 15 year-old teenager arrested on 16 May 2014 for taking part in a peaceful demonstration in the town of Zagazig, in lower Egypt.

On 8 and 9 October 2014, Alkarama delivered its key recommendations to the UN Member States' Permanent Missions for the second Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Egypt, which will be held on 5 November 2014. Emphasis was placed on the country's current major issues, already highlighted in the Alkarama's last report, in particular issues concerning the practice of torture and ill-treatment; arbitrary detention and violence against women and children in detention; enforced disappearances and extrajudicial executions.

Alkarama sent today an urgent appeal to the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) to follow-up on the situation of Mohamed Morsi, the former Egyptian president ousted by a military coup on 3 July 2013, and that of his Chief of staff, Mohamed Rifaat Al Tahtawi. Despite two hearings on 27 and 29 September, Morsi and Al Tahtawi did not appear in court, for alleged "security reasons".
