Following an altercation between Mr Ibrahim and the Special Security forces officers, he was taken to a nearby police station in Doha where he spent two months in custody without ever being subject to any legal proceedings. When he was finally presented before a judge, he was released on bail. The police officers however felt differently, and decided to send him to the State Security prison where he was held in solitary confinement for over three months.

Alkarama calls for upon the Qatari authorities to release Sedki Ibrahim, after now having been deprived of his liberty for more than five months. Alkarama also requests an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his detention in order that those responsible are punished.
Sedki Ibrahim's current detention is contrary to Qatari domestic law and its international obligations under human rights law.
