On 15 January 2016, Alkarama submitted a report to the Sub-Committee on Accreditation (SCA) of the International Coordinating Committee of National Institutions for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights (ICC-NHRI) on Bahrain's National Institution for Human Rights (NIHR) which will be graded by the SCA between 9-13 May 2016. Pointing out its lack of independence from the executive power and lack of transparency, Alkarama called upon the SCA to grant Bahrain's NIHR status "B" to indicate its lack of compliance with the Paris Principles – the international standards established to ensure the NHRI's independence from government and effective promotion and protection of human rights. In its review of the Bahraini NHRI, the SCA will assess, among others, its pluralist representation of society, its independence from the government and the scope of its mandate.

On 2 December 2015, members of the Bahraini Security Forces arrested 21-year-old student Ali Abduljalil Mohamed Hassan and took him to the Criminal Investigation Directorate in Manama, where he has been detained incommunicado ever since. Concerned over these facts, on 22 December 2015, Alkarama sent an urgent appeal to the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD), requesting itto urge the Bahraini authorities to release Ali immediately.

In February 2015, Hussain Ali Radhi Abdulrasool, a father and driver, was violently arrested by a group of policemen leaving him unconscious and severely injured. Eight months later, he was acquitted of all charges against him, but left paralysed from the waist down, he is unable to work. In view of these facts, on 30 November 2015, Alkarama sent a communication to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the rights of persons with disabilities (SR Disabilities) asking her to call upon the Bahraini authorities to provide compensation for Hussain.

On 20 November 2015, Alkarama sent a communication to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment (SRT) regarding the case of 21-year-old student Ahmed Sayed Hussain Sharaf Ali Mohamed, who was arrested by members of the Riot Police in October 2014. In September 2015, Ahmed was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment and revocation of nationality on the sole basis of confessions obtained under torture during his pre-trial detention.

On 13 November 2015, Alkarama sent a communication to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment (SRT) regarding the case of Radhi Ali Radhi Abdulrasool, employed at the Zein Telecommunication company, arrested by members of the Bahraini police in November 2012. Radhi was sentenced to 25 years in prison on 7 October 2013, a conviction based on confessions obtained under torture during his pre-trial detention, which was later reduced to 15 years on appeal.

On 13 November 2015, Alkarama sent a communication to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment (SRT) regarding the case of school bus driver Mohamed Hassan Ali Ibrahim Ali. The victim was arrested in September 2013 and taken to the Criminal Investigation Centre of Manama, where he was severely tortured and forced to make confessions. These confessions were later used to justify the charges brought against him. Ali is currently detained at the Al Jaw prison, known for its "severe abuses", where he awaits trial.

On 6 May 2015, during its 54th session, the United Nations Committee against Torture (CAT) – a body of 10 independent experts that monitors the implementation of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (UNCAT) by its State parties – adopted a List of 18 Issues Prior to Reporting (LoIPR). Earlier this year, Alkarama provided the Committee with suggestions of 64 questions to be raised with the State, some of which were conveyed by the Committee.

On 9 February 2015, Alkarama provided the Committee against Torture (CAT) with a list of 64 issues to be raised by the United Nations experts with the Bahraini authorities during their consideration of Bahrain's initial report. Despite claims from the Bahraini authorities that torture has been eradicated, Alkarama pointed out that investigations from various UN Human Rights Bodies and independent Bahraini commissions – including the Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI) and the Prisoners and Detainees Rights Commission (PDRC) – and show that torture still remains a subject of concern.
