On 28 October 2014, Alkarama sent a communication to the United Nations Working Group on Enforced and Involuntary Disappearances (WGEID) to raise the case of Qamar Awad, disappeared since her arrest by a patrol of the Syrian Air Intelligence Forces on 2 October 2012.

Any further intervention in the Middle East must include plans to address the suffering of Syrian civilians, said today a global coalition of over 40 leading human rights and humanitarian organizations, including Alkarama.

Alkarama, in collaboration with Human Rights Guardians, referred eight cases of enforced disappearance to the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances – Mssrs Khaled Awda, Abdul Rahman Al Hamraoui, Mohammed Noor Zada, Deibo Al Khalif, Jamil Al Najjar, Mohamed Rami Ramla, Mr Sabaie Sharkeyia and his brother Mr Alaa Sharkeyia. They all disappeared after being arrested by the State forces in Homs, Aleppo and Damascus, between September 2012 and July 2013.
