Nayef Al-Attiyah was released without ever being subject to any legal proceedings during his detention. Alkarama's sources have confirmed that the entire episode was simply an attempt to settle a personal score.

Alkarama continues to pursue Fawaz Al-Attiyah's case with great interest, and calls upon the Qatari authorities to respect their own domestic laws and its international obligations to human rights law. Alkarama has already sent Fawaz Al-Attiyah's case to the Special Rapporteur on Torture, who according to sources is currently being detained under particularly distressing conditions.
