BodyDear Hannah Neumann,
I am writing with urgent concern regarding Erfan Amiri, who is currently at imminent risk of execution in Iran.
This case comes at a particularly alarming time. In recent months, Iranian authorities have intensified executions in parallel with widespread unrest and ongoing conflict. These actions are increasingly carried out under conditions of severe internet restrictions and communication blackouts, which limit transparency and prevent independent scrutiny.
Erfan Amiri, 17, has been arrested and tried in Branch 26 of Tehran's Revolutionary Court on charges of participating in murder, setting fire to the Seyyed al-Shohada Mosque, and acting against security in connection with the 08 January 2026 protests in Pakdasht, all based on confessions extracted using severe torture. Amnesty International and human rights organizations have warned of the risk of his execution.
The Supreme Court has finalised his death sentence and has already sent it for execution. Tomorrow might be too late for him!
Credible reports indicate that detainees are often subjected to unfair trials, restricted legal access, and coerced confessions. When executions take place during periods of reduced visibility, the risk of irreversible injustice is significantly heightened.
In this context, international attention becomes one of the few remaining safeguards.
I respectfully urge you to:
* Call for an immediate halt to the execution of Erfan Amiri
* Raise this case urgently with the European External Action Service and relevant EU institutions
* Advocate for transparency and independent monitoring, particularly during ongoing communication restrictions

Time is critical. When visibility is deliberately reduced, silence can enable irreversible harm.
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
A concerned citizen
