A retired judge, Suleiman oud Zoubi, former member of the Libyan General National Congress (GNC), was released on 4 September 2016. He was abducted in 2014 by the Barag Al Nasser militia from Zintan, which were at the time loyalists to the Libyan armed forces. He was held in solitary confinement and subjected to torture and ill-treatment. Alkarama had sent a communication to the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) and other Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council (HRC) concerning his case.

On 22 November 2015, 43-year-old Arabic literature professor, Salah Salem Slimane Al Hassi was abducted from his home in Bayda City by members of an armed group loyal to General Khalifa Haftar. According to his family, Al Hassi's abduction took place in retaliation for having taken part in a peaceful demonstration a few days earlier. Al Hassi had joined this political protest in an effort to denounce the human rights violations regularly committed by General Haftar's militias in the city of Bayda, in eastern Libya. With the victim still missing and in view of his family's incapacity to obtain information at the national level, on 27 November 2015 Alkarama sent an urgent appeal to the United Nations Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances (WGEID) to try and make light of his unlawful arrest.

On 25 September 2015, the Human Rights Council (HRC) adopted the outcome report of Libya's second Universal Periodic Review (UPR) held at the Palais des Nations in Geneva in May. The review revealed that the Libyan authorities still had a long way to go to improve the general human rights situation. One of the key issues raised was the protection of civilians, especially human rights defenders, journalists, judges and prosecutors. In view of the deteriorating human rights situation in the country, the Libyan authorities' lack of will to address the major issues in the country is deeply concerning.

On 3 September 2015, Alkarama referred the case of six brothers to both the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions (SR SUMX) and the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture (SRT). Suspected to have had an active role in the 17 February Revolution, the Elkershini brothers were abducted by militias under the control of the internationally-recognised Government of Tobruk in October 2014. Held incommunicado for weeks, they were seriously tortured, and two of them were summarily executed.
