They were then transferred to Roumieh prison where they are still detained to date. After 52 months of arbitrary detention, they were finally officially charged and brought before a jurisdiction. They are however still awaiting trial.

Alkarama and the Lebanese Centre for Human Rights express their concern as their "confessions" extracted by the authorities could be used against them in court and lead to a severe verdict.

In this sense, a joint communication was sent to the competent UN bodies to ask the Lebanese authorities to put a definitive end to torture and impunity for their perpetrators. An impartial and thorough investigation into the acts Jemaa and Alaeddine were subjected to should be conducted by the authorities in addition to guarantee their trial is in line with international standards.
