SubjectImmediate Attention Requested: Hamidreza Vatani at Risk of Execution
BodyDear Honourable Matthieu Valet, I am writing to urgently draw your attention to the case of Hamidreza Vatani, who is reportedly at imminent risk of execution in Iran. This case is unfolding at a particularly critical moment. Recent reports indicate a sharp increase in executions during periods of 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. He is a children's rights activist and inspector of the Association for the Protection of Children's Rights. Wounded with a shotgun on January 8th 2026 and arrested on January 9th. He was transferred to Evin Prison and been accused of "rebellion" and "acting against national security". He has endured more than a month of insecurity and pressure to confess. In such circumstances, the risk of irreversible injustice is greatly heightened, particularly given ongoing concerns regarding due process, access to legal representation, and the use of coerced confessions. Public and timely international engagement is therefore essential. I respectfully urge you to: * Call for an immediate halt to the execution of Hamidreza Vatani * Raise this case urgently with EU institutions and diplomatic channels * Advocate for transparency and independent monitoring, especially during ongoing communication restrictions * Support continued parliamentary attention to the use of the death penalty under conditions of limited visibility Further information on this case can be found here: https://www.iranintl.com/202602129846 https://www.hra-news.org/2026/hranews/a-650013e0 At a time when visibility is being reduced, international attention can be decisive in preventing irreversible harm. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectTranslating Parliament’s Iran Position into Case-Based Protection – Hamidreza Vatani
BodyDear MEP Catarina Vieira, I am writing to bring to your immediate attention the case of Hamidreza Vatani, 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. He is a children's rights activist and inspector of the Association for the Protection of Children's Rights. Wounded with a shotgun on January 8th 2026 and arrested on January 9th. He was transferred to Evin Prison and been accused of "rebellion" and "acting against national security". He has endured more than a month of insecurity and pressure to confess. 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 Hamidreza Vatani 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://www.iranintl.com/202602129846 https://www.hra-news.org/2026/hranews/a-650013e0 Given the irreversible nature of the death penalty, timely and visible engagement may be decisive. Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectRequest for Protective Parliamentary Sponsorship – Hamidreza Vatani
BodyDear Honourable Adrián Vázquez Lázara, I am reaching out regarding the urgent case of Hamidreza Vatani, who is currently at risk of 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 moments. He is a children's rights activist and inspector of the Association for the Protection of Children's Rights. Wounded with a shotgun on January 8th 2026 and arrested on January 9th. He was transferred to Evin Prison and been accused of "rebellion" and "acting against national security". He has endured more than a month of insecurity and pressure to confess. The European Parliament has recently taken firm positions in response to repression in Iran, including its January 2026 resolution and related measures. At a time when visibility is being deliberately reduced, continued and structured engagement is essential. In that context, I respectfully suggest: – Considering sponsorship of Hamidreza Vatani within a detainee advocacy framework to ensure sustained visibility – Raising this case with the EEAS and in parliamentary discussions – Supporting briefings or hearings with civil society representatives and legal experts on imminent execution cases – Encouraging coordinated attention to similar cases where executions may occur under restricted visibility When individual cases are consistently monitored by elected officials, the international cost of proceeding with executions increases. Further verified reporting on this case is available here: https://www.iranintl.com/202602129846 https://www.hra-news.org/2026/hranews/a-650013e0 Given the urgency and irreversible consequences involved, timely and visible engagement could be critical. Sincerely, A concerned citizen
