On 28 April 2010, Nasr Al-Sayed Hassan Nasr, 52, presented himself to the State Security Investigative (SSI) services in his home town of Banha and was immediately arrested. He was held incommunicado for nearly two months and tortured on several occasions before his release on 20 June 2010.

Alkarama calls for the release of Mohamed Farouk Al-Mahdi, a UK citizen held without charge or trial by the Doha's Public Prosecution since 15 October 2009. Mohamed Al-Mahdi is a former employee at a bank in Doha.

On Sunday 4 July 2010, Haitham Al-Maleh, a prominent Syrian human rights lawyer, was sentenced by Damascus' Military Court to three years imprisonment on charges of "weakening national sentiment". Alkarama condemns the unfair sentence and calls for his immediate release.
