SubjectTranslating Parliament’s Iran Position into Case-Based Protection – Mohammadtaha Zini Vand

BodyDear MEP Urmas Paet, I am writing to bring to your immediate attention the case of Mohammadtaha Zini Vand, 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. Mohammad Taha Zeinivand, a 17-year-old from Darehshahr, Ilam, was arrested by security forces on 13 Dey 1404 (12/12/2015) during protests and taken to an unknown location. His fate is reportedly unknown. 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 Mohammadtaha Zini Vand 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

SubjectUrgent Request for Action Regarding Mohammadtaha Zini Vand

BodyDear Honourable Chloé Ridel, I am writing with urgent concern regarding Mohammadtaha Zini Vand, 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. Mohammad Taha Zeinivand, a 17-year-old from Darehshahr, Ilam, was arrested by security forces on 13 Dey 1404 (12/12/2015) during protests and taken to an unknown location. His fate is reportedly unknown. 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 Mohammadtaha Zini Vand * 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

SubjectFollow-up to Parliament’s Iran Resolution – Urgent Case of Mohammadtaha Zini Vand

BodyDear Bert-Jan Ruissen, I am writing to draw your urgent attention to the case of Mohammadtaha Zini Vand, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. This case is unfolding amid a sharp 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. Mohammad Taha Zeinivand, a 17-year-old from Darehshahr, Ilam, was arrested by security forces on 13 Dey 1404 (12/12/2015) during protests and taken to an unknown location. His fate is reportedly unknown. In January 2026, the European Parliament took a strong position against repression in Iran, signaling that such violations will not go unanswered. At a time when visibility is being deliberately reduced, continued and visible engagement is essential. I respectfully urge you to consider: – Publicly sponsoring Mohammadtaha Zini Vand within a political or detainee advocacy initiative – Raising this case in plenary, committee discussions, or with the EEAS – Supporting efforts to maintain visibility, including hearings with human rights defenders or affected families – Calling for an immediate halt to the execution and for full due process guarantees Further information on this case is available here: https://lookerstudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/71414769-37ca-4359-9e86-48c7c704da98/page/p_zkwf39o10d When visibility is limited, international attention can be one of the few remaining safeguards against irreversible harm. Timely action in this case could be decisive. Sincerely, A concerned citizen
