SubjectTranslating Parliament’s Iran Position into Case-Based Protection – Matin Mohammadi
BodyDear Maria NOICHL, I am writing to bring to your immediate attention the case of Matin Mohammadi, who is reportedly facing execution in Iran. A 17-year-old Pakdasht teenager was arrested in Pakdasht on 18 Dey 1404. He was accused of collusion, rioting, murder, arson of the Seyyed al-Shohada Mosque, and destruction. He was tried in Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court (25 Bahman 1404). He confessed under torture, his lawyer was captured. He was at risk of execution. A Deygari with the same name was arrested from Foladshahr, Isfahan. The European Parliament’s January 2026 resolution on repression in Iran, along with its firm position regarding the IRGC and the restriction of access for Iranian representatives, marked a clear escalation in the EU’s political response. To ensure these positions remain impactful, it is crucial that they are consistently applied to individual cases where lives are at imminent risk. In this regard, I respectfully ask you to consider a more structured, preventive approach: – Adopting Matin Mohammadi under a formal political sponsorship mechanism focused specifically on prisoners sentenced to death. – Requesting that this case be included in official parliamentary communications and raised in dialogues with EU foreign policy representatives. – Supporting dedicated briefings or side-events in Parliament featuring Iranian human rights advocates and experts monitoring execution cases. – Promoting a coordinated initiative among Members to track and publicly reference named detainees at risk, reinforcing sustained oversight rather than one-time statements. When individual prisoners are visibly linked to elected representatives, it increases transparency and international scrutiny. Consistent political association can serve as a deterrent in cases where proceedings lack due process safeguards.

Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectRequest for Protective Parliamentary Sponsorship – Matin Mohammadi
BodyDear Honourable Jan-Christoph OETJEN, I am reaching out regarding the urgent case of Matin Mohammadi, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. A 17-year-old Pakdasht teenager was arrested in Pakdasht on 18 Dey 1404. He was accused of collusion, rioting, murder, arson of the Seyyed al-Shohada Mosque, and destruction. He was tried in Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court (25 Bahman 1404). He confessed under torture, his lawyer was captured. He was at risk of execution. A Deygari with the same name was arrested from Foladshahr, Isfahan. The European Parliament has recently taken decisive positions in response to ongoing repression in Iran, including its January 2026 resolution, measures addressing the role of the IRGC, and steps to limit engagement with representatives of the Iranian authorities. These actions underscore Parliament’s recognition that systematic human rights violations require sustained and structured political response. In that spirit, I would like to propose a focused, case-based approach: – Consider formally sponsoring Matin Mohammadi under a political detainee advocacy framework, ensuring regular follow-up and visibility at parliamentary level. – Encourage coordination among Members to adopt additional death penalty cases collectively, creating a structured sponsorship network. – Support the organisation of hearings or briefings where Iranian civil society representatives and legal experts can provide updates on imminent execution cases. – Explore cross-party statements or emergency debates specifically addressing prisoners currently sentenced to death. Political sponsorship and continued institutional visibility can serve as protective mechanisms. When individual cases are consistently monitored by elected officials, the cost of proceeding with executions increases at the international level. 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, proactive parliamentary engagement at this stage could be critical. Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectUrgent case of Matin Mohammadi – request for parliamentary engagement
BodyDear Honourable Aodhán Ó RÍORDÁIN, I am writing regarding the case of Matin Mohammadi, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. A 17-year-old Pakdasht teenager was arrested in Pakdasht on 18 Dey 1404. He was accused of collusion, rioting, murder, arson of the Seyyed al-Shohada Mosque, and destruction. He was tried in Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court (25 Bahman 1404). He confessed under torture, his lawyer was captured. He was at risk of execution. A Deygari with the same name was arrested from Foladshahr, Isfahan. Further information is available here: https://lookerstudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/71414769-37ca-4359-9e86-48c7c704da98/page/p_zkwf39o10d In its January 2026 resolution on repression in Iran, the European Parliament strongly condemned the continued use of the death penalty and reaffirmed its position on listing the IRGC as a terrorist organisation, as well as restricting Iranian diplomats’ access to Parliament premises. These steps reflect Parliament’s commitment to accountability and consistent human rights scrutiny. In this context, political sponsorship of detainees sentenced to death remains a particularly effective and structured instrument. Sponsorship, combined with raising the case in plenary or committee, submitting written questions to the EEAS, and facilitating speaking opportunities for human rights defenders or family members, can ensure sustained follow-up rather than isolated statements. Your engagement could make a meaningful contribution to keeping this case under active parliamentary consideration. Sincerely, A concerned citizen
