SubjectRequest for Protective Parliamentary Sponsorship – Ilya Ben Rashid

BodyDear Jaume Asens Llodrà, I am reaching out regarding the urgent case of Ilya Ben Rashid, 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. Ilya bin Rashid, a 22-year-old Ahwazi resident of Shahinshahr, Isfahan, was arrested on 22 Dey 1404 during protests in Shahinshahr. He was sentenced to death on charges of war crimes and is at risk of execution. He was an orphan and lived with his grandparents. 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 Ilya Ben Rashid 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.

Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectUrgent Request for Action Regarding Ilya Ben Rashid

BodyDear MEP Francisco Assis, I am writing with urgent concern regarding Ilya Ben Rashid, 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. Ilya bin Rashid, a 22-year-old Ahwazi resident of Shahinshahr, Isfahan, was arrested on 22 Dey 1404 during protests in Shahinshahr. He was sentenced to death on charges of war crimes and is at risk of execution. He was an orphan and lived with his grandparents. 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 Ilya Ben Rashid * 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

SubjectTranslating Parliament’s Iran Position into Case-Based Protection – Ilya Ben Rashid

BodyDear Honourable Sebastião Bugalho, I am writing to bring to your immediate attention the case of Ilya Ben Rashid, 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. Ilya bin Rashid, a 22-year-old Ahwazi resident of Shahinshahr, Isfahan, was arrested on 22 Dey 1404 during protests in Shahinshahr. He was sentenced to death on charges of war crimes and is at risk of execution. He was an orphan and lived with his grandparents. 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 Ilya Ben Rashid 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
