On 1 December, Alkarama sent a communication to the Special Rapporteur on Torture (SRT) regarding the case of Zied Younes, a 25-year-old engineer arrested on 10 September 2014, by the antiterrorism squad. The victim was tortured by security services and prison guards and held in worrying conditions before being judged on the basis of evidence obtained under torture.

From 27 November to 5 December 2014, the United Nations' Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers, Gabriela Knaul, visited Tunisia with the aim to assess the challenges the country still faced in order to ensure the independence of its judicial system. Whilst acknowledging the efforts made by Tunisia towards the establishment of the rule of law, Knaul gave a mixed assessment of the Tunisian judiciary's independence, and did not fail to recall that corruption was still an integral part of the country's judicial system.

On the occasion of the 24th session of the United Nations Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture which will be held in Geneva from 17 to 21 November, Alkarama called the UN experts to undertake a visit to Tunisia, where the situation of torture remains a major concern despite the political will expressed by the authorities to fight against the persistent human rights violations in the country.
