SubjectTranslating Parliament’s Iran Position into Case-Based Protection – Ali Safari

BodyDear Honourable Rasa Juknevičienė, I am writing to bring to your immediate attention the case of Ali Safari, who is reportedly facing 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 stages. Ali Safari, 23, a student at Tehran University of Applied Sciences, Culture and Art, Branch 46, and a theater actor, was arrested on 18 Dey 1404 during the Karaj protests. On 9 Bahman 1404, he was sentenced to death on charges of Moharebeh and is at risk of execution. The European Parliament’s January 2026 resolution and related measures marked a clear escalation in the EU’s response to repression in Iran. At a time when visibility is being deliberately reduced, ensuring that individual cases receive sustained and visible attention is essential. In this regard, I respectfully urge you to consider: – Sponsoring Ali Safari as a detainee at risk of execution to ensure continuous visibility – Raising this case in parliamentary discussions and with EU foreign policy representatives – Supporting briefings or events with human rights defenders and experts monitoring imminent execution cases – Encouraging coordinated attention to named detainees at risk, particularly where executions may occur under restricted visibility When individual cases are visibly monitored by elected representatives, the level of international scrutiny increases, raising the cost of proceeding with executions. Additional reporting on this case can be found here: https://lookerstudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/71414769-37ca-4359-9e86-48c7c704da98/page/p_zkwf39o10d Given the irreversible nature of the death penalty, timely and visible engagement may be decisive. Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectUrgent case of Ali Safari – request for parliamentary engagement

BodyDear Mariusz Kamiński, I am writing regarding the case of Ali Safari, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. This case comes amid a concerning increase 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 critical moments. Ali Safari, 23, a student at Tehran University of Applied Sciences, Culture and Art, Branch 46, and a theater actor, was arrested on 18 Dey 1404 during the Karaj protests. On 9 Bahman 1404, he was sentenced to death on charges of Moharebeh and is at risk of execution. 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, the European Parliament strongly condemned the use of the death penalty and reaffirmed its commitment to accountability in Iran. At a time when visibility is being deliberately reduced, sustained attention to individual cases becomes essential. I respectfully urge you to: – Consider sponsoring Ali Safari to ensure continued visibility – Raise this case in parliamentary discussions or with the EEAS – Support efforts to maintain public attention, including briefings with human rights defenders or affected families When cases are visibly monitored, international scrutiny increases, raising the cost of proceeding with executions. Given the irreversible consequences involved, timely engagement could be decisive. Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectUrgent Request for Action Regarding Ali Safari

BodyDear Łukasz Kohut, I am writing with urgent concern regarding Ali Safari, 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. Ali Safari, 23, a student at Tehran University of Applied Sciences, Culture and Art, Branch 46, and a theater actor, was arrested on 18 Dey 1404 during the Karaj protests. On 9 Bahman 1404, he was sentenced to death on charges of Moharebeh and is at risk of execution. 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 Ali Safari * 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 For your reference, here are reliable sources: https://lookerstudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/71414769-37ca-4359-9e86-48c7c704da98/page/p_zkwf39o10d Time is critical. When visibility is deliberately reduced, silence can enable irreversible harm. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, A concerned citizen
