During his imprisonment, Nayef was subjected to various forms of torture, including beatings, suspension and psychological torture. For nearly eight months now he has been living under less than humane conditions. He is currently held incommunicado and prevented from seeing the sunlight under solitary confinement.

Alkarama would like to alert the Qatari authorities of the edicts under their Constitution and their responsibility to international law, which ban all human rights violations such as torture and arbitrary detention. Alkarama continues to appeal for Nayef and Fawaz Al-Attiyah's release and intends to submit their cases to the UN human rights special procedures.
