SubjectRequest for Protective Parliamentary Sponsorship – Matin Koushkbaghi

BodyDear Barry Andrews, I am reaching out regarding the urgent case of Matin Koushkbaghi, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. This case comes amid a concerning escalation in executions during ongoing unrest and conflict, often carried out under conditions of internet restrictions and communication blackouts. These measures significantly reduce transparency and limit international oversight at the most critical moments. Matin Koushkbaghi, 23, a Baha'i citizen living in Sabzevar, was arrested by security forces on the evening of 10 Dey 1404 (10/11/2015) during protests and taken to an unknown location. No information has been reported on his condition or whereabouts. The European Parliament has recently taken firm positions in response to repression in Iran, including its January 2026 resolution and related measures. At a time when visibility is being deliberately reduced, continued and structured engagement is essential. In that context, I respectfully suggest: – Considering sponsorship of Matin Koushkbaghi within a detainee advocacy framework to ensure sustained visibility – Raising this case with the EEAS and in parliamentary discussions – Supporting briefings or hearings with civil society representatives and legal experts on imminent execution cases – Encouraging coordinated attention to similar cases where executions may occur under restricted visibility When individual cases are consistently monitored by elected officials, the international cost of proceeding with executions increases. Further verified reporting on this case is available here: https://lookerstudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/71414769-37ca-4359-9e86-48c7c704da98/page/p_zkwf39o10d Given the urgency and irreversible consequences involved, timely and visible engagement could be critical. Sincerely, A concerned citizen
