Last Friday, 19 March 2010, Alkarama met with Iyas Maleh, son of Haithem Al-Maleh, the 78 year-old Syrian lawyer and human rights defender who was abducted by the Syrian authorities on 14 October 2009 and then brought before a military court. Haithem Al-Maleh faces a possible sentence of up to 15 years, in a court which violates many of the guarantees to a fair trial. He has been denied his prescription medications for over a month now, causing a serious decline in his health. His son calls for people around the world to keep putting whatever pressure they can to ensure his father's release.

Alkarama has just received news that Ahmed Bamuallim, former MP and a political opposition figure in Yemen, was sentenced on 23 March 2010 to ten years imprisonment by the Specialized State Security Court on charges of violating national unity.
