On 12 May 2016, Salih Al Dulaimi, professor at the Electrical Engineering Department of the College of Engineering, University of Anbar, was sentenced to death on the basis of Iraq Antiterrorism Law by the Iraqi Central Criminal Court, the judge relying on statements Al Dulaimi made under heavy torture and alleged information provided by the US intelligence. As Al Dulaimi is clearly a victim of arbitrary detention, Alkarama and Al Wissam Humanitarian Assembly sent his case to the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD), demanding the five UN experts to call upon the Iraqi authorities to immediately release him.

In view of Kuwait's third periodic review, on 4 July 2016, Alkarama submitted its shadow report to the UN Committee Against Torture (CAT) analysing the legal framework for the prohibition of torture and its practice in Kuwait. During its 58thsession which will take place between 25 July and 12 August, the Committee's experts will assess* the implementation of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (UNCAT), ratified by Kuwait in 1996, on the basis of information provided by both NGOs, including Alkarama, as well as the State party in its national report.

On 15 July 2016, Alkarama referred to the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) the case of Omar Mabrouk, a young student currently detained in Giza, Cairo, and facing an unfair trial. Held in incommunicado detention since his unlawful extradition from Kuwait to Egypt in October 2015 and until April 2016, he was severely tortured to confess crimes he never committed. He was then charged with "establishment of an unlawful group" for having criticized the Egyptian Government through social networks and put on trial while denied the possibility to prepare his defence.
