SubjectUrgent Request for Action Regarding Naser Bakarzadeh

BodyDear Honourable Hannah Neumann, I am writing with urgent concern regarding Naser Bakarzadeh, 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. Nasser Bekerzadeh, a 26-year-old Kurdish political prisoner from Urmia, held in Urmia Central Prison, has been sentenced to death for the third time on charges of spying for Israel. The case dates back years and is unrelated to the recent Dey and Bahman 1404 protests. 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 Naser Bakarzadeh * 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

SubjectUrgent Human Rights Case Requiring Parliamentary Follow-Up – Naser Bakarzadeh

BodyDear Maria Noichl, I am writing to request your urgent attention to the case of Naser Bakarzadeh, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. This case arises amid a sharp 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. Nasser Bekerzadeh, a 26-year-old Kurdish political prisoner from Urmia, held in Urmia Central Prison, has been sentenced to death for the third time on charges of spying for Israel. The case dates back years and is unrelated to the recent Dey and Bahman 1404 protests. The European Parliament has already taken a firm stance in response to repression in Iran, including its January 2026 resolution and related measures. At a time when visibility is being deliberately reduced, translating that position into timely action on individual cases is essential. I respectfully urge you to consider: – Sponsoring Naser Bakarzadeh as a detainee at risk of execution to ensure sustained visibility – Raising this case with the EEAS and in parliamentary discussions – Supporting briefings with human rights defenders or affected families on imminent execution cases – Encouraging coordinated cross-party attention to prisoners facing execution under restricted visibility When individual cases are visibly monitored, the international cost of proceeding with executions increases. Further 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 consequences involved, timely and visible engagement could be decisive. Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectTranslating Parliament’s Iran Position into Case-Based Protection – Naser Bakarzadeh

BodyDear Honourable Jan-Christoph Oetjen, I am writing to bring to your immediate attention the case of Naser Bakarzadeh, 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. Nasser Bekerzadeh, a 26-year-old Kurdish political prisoner from Urmia, held in Urmia Central Prison, has been sentenced to death for the third time on charges of spying for Israel. The case dates back years and is unrelated to the recent Dey and Bahman 1404 protests. 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 Naser Bakarzadeh 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.
