SubjectIntegrating Amin Pourfarhang’s case into Parliament’s Iran human rights framework
BodyDear MEP Rima HASSAN, The European Parliament’s January 2026 resolution on repression in Iran established a clear mandate for sustained scrutiny of executions, accountability for systemic abuses, support for listing the IRGC as a terrorist organisation, and continued restrictions on Iranian diplomats’ access to Parliament premises. Translating these positions into consistent parliamentary practice remains essential. In that context, I would like to draw your attention to the case of Amin Pourfarhang. Amin Pourfarhang, a graduate of chemical engineering from Sharif University and a pharmacy student at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, a Kurdish citizen from Shirvan, was arrested during the Jan 2026 protests in Shirvan and faces charges of Waging War Against God and is at risk of execution. Students at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad have rallied for his release. Further information is available here: https://hengaw.net/fa/news/2026/01/article-221 https://www.iranintl.com/202601272634 Political sponsorship of detainees sentenced to death provides a structured channel for follow-up that extends beyond public statements. Incorporating this case into committee work, raising it through written questions to the EEAS, and facilitating policy discussions with human rights defenders or family members can help ensure regular institutional engagement. Positioning individual cases within Parliament’s broader Iran strategy reinforces coherence between resolutions and day-to-day parliamentary oversight. Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectImmediate Attention Requested: Amin Pourfarhang at Risk of Execution
BodyDear Honourable Mircea-Gheorghe HAVA, I am contacting you to urgently request your attention to the case of Amin Pourfarhang, who is reportedly facing imminent execution in Iran. Amin Pourfarhang, a graduate of chemical engineering from Sharif University and a pharmacy student at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, a Kurdish citizen from Shirvan, was arrested during the Jan 2026 protests in Shirvan and faces charges of Waging War Against God and is at risk of execution. Students at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad have rallied for his release. The risk of irreversible harm in this case is severe. Public intervention by Members of the European Parliament has, in previous cases, contributed to halting executions and ensuring international scrutiny. Timely and visible engagement can have a meaningful impact. I respectfully urge you to: Issue a public statement calling for an immediate suspension of the execution. Engage with EU institutions and relevant diplomatic channels to press for a stay of execution. Advocate for fair legal proceedings, transparency, and access to independent legal representation. Support continued parliamentary attention to the broader use of the death penalty in Iran. Further information and reporting on this case can be found here: https://hengaw.net/fa/news/2026/01/article-221 https://www.iranintl.com/202601272634 Your voice and position carry weight. Prompt action may help save a life. Sincerely, A concerned citizen
