SubjectRequest for Protective Parliamentary Sponsorship – Kiarash Khosravi
BodyDear Jan-Christoph OETJEN, I am reaching out regarding the urgent case of Kiarash Khosravi, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. Kiarash Khosravi, a mechanical engineering student at Sharif University of Technology and secretary of the Islamic Students Association, was summoned to the Ministry of Intelligence's follow-up office and arrested on 4 Bahman 1404 (Friday) after the association published a statement regarding recent events. He was released from detention on the morning of 5 Bahman. The European Parliament has recently taken decisive positions in response to ongoing repression in Iran, including its January 2026 resolution, measures addressing the role of the IRGC, and steps to limit engagement with representatives of the Iranian authorities. These actions underscore Parliament’s recognition that systematic human rights violations require sustained and structured political response. In that spirit, I would like to propose a focused, case-based approach: – Consider formally sponsoring Kiarash Khosravi under a political detainee advocacy framework, ensuring regular follow-up and visibility at parliamentary level. – Encourage coordination among Members to adopt additional death penalty cases collectively, creating a structured sponsorship network. – Support the organisation of hearings or briefings where Iranian civil society representatives and legal experts can provide updates on imminent execution cases. – Explore cross-party statements or emergency debates specifically addressing prisoners currently sentenced to death. Political sponsorship and continued institutional visibility can serve as protective mechanisms. When individual cases are consistently monitored by elected officials, the cost of proceeding with executions increases at the international level.

Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectUrgent case of Kiarash Khosravi – request for parliamentary engagement
BodyDear Aodhán Ó RÍORDÁIN, I am writing regarding the case of Kiarash Khosravi, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. Kiarash Khosravi, a mechanical engineering student at Sharif University of Technology and secretary of the Islamic Students Association, was summoned to the Ministry of Intelligence's follow-up office and arrested on 4 Bahman 1404 (Friday) after the association published a statement regarding recent events.

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
