SubjectImmediate Attention Requested: Omid Janmi at Risk of Execution
BodyDear MEP Jorge MARTÍN FRÍAS, I am contacting you to urgently request your attention to the case of Omid Janmi, who is reportedly facing imminent execution in Iran. Omid Janami, a 27-year-old athlete from Zarrinshahr, Isfahan, was arrested for refusing to hand over CCTV footage from his cafe after the protests of 18 and 19 Dey 1404. He was transferred to Dastgerd Prison and there are reports of torture (two teeth broken) and pressure to plead guilty to war crimes. The family is under pressure to remain silent. 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

SubjectUrgent case of Omid Janmi – request for parliamentary engagement
BodyDear MEP Tiago MOREIRA DE SÁ, I am writing regarding the case of Omid Janmi, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. Omid Janami, a 27-year-old athlete from Zarrinshahr, Isfahan, was arrested for refusing to hand over CCTV footage from his cafe after the protests of 18 and 19 Dey 1404. He was transferred to Dastgerd Prison and there are reports of torture (two teeth broken) and pressure to plead guilty to war crimes. The family is under pressure to remain silent. 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
