SubjectUrgent case of Abolfazl Salehi Siavashani – request for parliamentary engagement
BodyDear Danuše NERUDOVÁ, I am writing regarding the case of Abolfazl Salehi Siavashani, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. He was sentenced to death by Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court on 18 Dey 1404 in Tehran on charges of war and corruption in the case of setting fire to the Basij base in Namjoo. The case is under review at the Supreme Court of the country. 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

SubjectImmediate Attention Requested: Abolfazl Salehi Siavashani at Risk of Execution
BodyDear Cynthia NÍ MHURCHÚ, I am contacting you to urgently request your attention to the case of Abolfazl Salehi Siavashani, who is reportedly facing imminent execution in Iran. He was sentenced to death by Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court on 18 Dey 1404 in Tehran on charges of war and corruption in the case of setting fire to the Basij base in Namjoo. The case is under review at the Supreme Court of the country. 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://lookerstudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/71414769-37ca-4359-9e86-48c7c704da98/page/p_zkwf39o10d Your voice and position carry weight. Prompt action may help save a life. Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectTranslating Parliament’s Iran Position into Case-Based Protection – Abolfazl Salehi Siavashani
BodyDear Honourable Dominik TARCZYŃSKI, I am writing to bring to your immediate attention the case of Abolfazl Salehi Siavashani, who is reportedly facing execution in Iran. He was sentenced to death by Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court on 18 Dey 1404 in Tehran on charges of war and corruption in the case of setting fire to the Basij base in Namjoo. The case is under review at the Supreme Court of the country. 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 Abolfazl Salehi Siavashani 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.
