SubjectUrgent case of Babak Alipour – request for parliamentary engagement
BodyDear Honourable Mieke ANDRIESE, I am writing regarding the case of Babak Alipour, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. Babak Alipour is a political prisoner sentenced to death on charges of rebellion through membership in groups opposed to the regime. He is from Rasht and a law graduate with a history of political activity. Recent sources confirm that he is still in prison, but the exact location (Evin or Qezel Hesar) is unknown. Family members have recently been arrested. 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

SubjectFollow-up to Parliament’s Iran Resolution – Urgent Case of Babak Alipour
BodyDear Jaume ASENS LLODRÀ, I am writing to draw your attention to the urgent case of Babak Alipour, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. Babak Alipour is a political prisoner sentenced to death on charges of rebellion through membership in groups opposed to the regime. He is from Rasht and a law graduate with a history of political activity. Recent sources confirm that he is still in prison, but the exact location (Evin or Qezel Hesar) is unknown. Family members have recently been arrested. In January 2026, the European Parliament adopted a strong resolution condemning the repression of protesters in Iran, called for increased accountability measures, supported listing the IRGC as a terrorist organisation, and took the important step of restricting access for Iranian diplomats to Parliament premises. These actions sent a clear message that the European Union will not remain silent in the face of systematic human rights violations. In light of this firm position, I respectfully urge you to consider concrete steps in this specific case: – Publicly sponsor Babak Alipour as part of a political sponsorship or detainee advocacy initiative for prisoners facing the death penalty. – Raise this case in plenary or committee discussions and with the EEAS. – Support inviting human rights defenders, former political prisoners, or family members to speak before Parliament or relevant committees to maintain visibility on urgent execution cases. – Call for an immediate halt to the execution and for full due process guarantees. Consistent and visible engagement by Members of the European Parliament has, in past cases, contributed to delaying or stopping executions. Sustained political sponsorship and institutional attention can provide a layer of protection for those most at risk. Further information on this case is available here: https://lookerstudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/71414769-37ca-4359-9e86-48c7c704da98/page/p_zkwf39o10d Given the gravity and urgency of the situation, timely action could be decisive. Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectTranslating Parliament’s Iran Position into Case-Based Protection – Babak Alipour
BodyDear Francisco ASSIS, I am writing to bring to your immediate attention the case of Babak Alipour, who is reportedly facing execution in Iran. Babak Alipour is a political prisoner sentenced to death on charges of rebellion through membership in groups opposed to the regime. He is from Rasht and a law graduate with a history of political activity. Recent sources confirm that he is still in prison, but the exact location (Evin or Qezel Hesar) is unknown. Family members have recently been arrested. 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 Babak Alipour 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. Additional reporting and documentation related to 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 engagement and sustained visibility may be decisive. Sincerely, A concerned citizen
