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.

On 14 August 2015, Alkarama referred the case of the Al Souid family, executed by General Khalifa Haftar's forces in the city of Benghazi on 15 October 2014, to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions (SR SUMX) and the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

On 6 July 2015, Alkarama sent a communication to the United Nations Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances (WGEID) regarding the case of Mr Abdelnaser Elgoroshi, a Libyan citizen abducted on 20 October 2014 in front of the Arab Medical University in the Belaon neighbourhood of Benghazi. Elgoroshi was working as a deputy prosecutor in South Benghazi Court and living in Arwisat neighbourhood in the same city.

On 22 July 2015, Alkarama referred the cases of 39 Libyan citizens, executed by the Zintan forces in the city of Kikla on 11 October 2014, to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extra-judicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions (SR SUMX) and the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Recalling that an International Commission of Inquiry (CoI) was established in February 2011 to investigate all human rights violations in Libya, Alkarama called upon the CoI to urgently investigate the Kikla massacre in accordance with its mandate.

On 15 June 2015, Alkarama sent a communication the United Nations Special Rapporteur on torture (SRT) concerning the cases of 10 Libyan citizens all subjected to torture at the end of 2014. These cases are illustrative of the increasing use of torture by militias – in the present case, the Zintan brigade, a government-funded militia drawn from the garrison town of Zintan in northwest Libya, acting as the regular force of the internationally recognised government of Tobruk – who wish to intimidate, eliminate and punish all discordant voices.

On 11 June 2015, Alkarama sent a communication to the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) and other Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council (HRC) concerning the case of Suliman Awad Zubi, a retired Libyan judge and member of the General National Congress (GNC) – Libya's elected legislative body recently not recognised by the international community – subjected to torture and ill-treatment in his solitary cell since his abduction in July 2014.

On 13 May 2015, Libya's second Universal Periodic Review (UPR) was held at the Palais des Nations in Geneva. This process, which first started in 2008, occurs every four and a half years and aims to assess the human rights record of each United Nations' Member State by the Human Rights Council (HRC). It is thus an ongoing and daily tool to advance human rights. For this 22nd Session, 14 countries, including Libya, are examined. Since its first UPR in November 2010, the country's human rights situation has not only stagnated as reported by Alkarama in September 2014, but strongly deteriorated, in particular due to the civil war that broke out in the context of the wider 'Arab Spring' in 2011.
