SubjectImmediate Attention Requested: Rahman Kiyani at Risk of Execution
BodyDear MEP Mircea-Gheorghe HAVA, I am contacting you to urgently request your attention to the case of Rahman Kiyani, who is reportedly facing imminent execution in Iran. Rahman Kiani Vafa (22 years old) was arrested along with his brothers Saman and Arman on 5 Bahman 1404 at their home in Shahinshahr and transferred to Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan. He has a military background and is currently a confectioner. The family is not allowed to visit him. There are reports of a threat of a death sentence, which the Isfahan judicial authorities have denied. 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

He has a military background and is currently a confectioner. The family is not allowed to visit him.

The European Parliament has consistently stood for human rights, the rule of law, and the protection of fundamental freedoms. I therefore urge you to raise this case publicly and through diplomatic channels. International attention and clear political pressure can play a decisive role in preventing irreversible harm. I respectfully ask if you would consider: Calling for an immediate halt to the execution. Raising this case with the European External Action Service and relevant EU institutions. Advocating for due process, transparency, and independent review. Supporting broader efforts to address the use of the death penalty in Iran.

SubjectFollow-up to Parliament’s Iran Resolution – Urgent Case of Rahman Kiyani
BodyDear Honourable Marc JONGEN, I am writing to draw your attention to the urgent case of Rahman Kiyani, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. Rahman Kiani Vafa (22 years old) was arrested along with his brothers Saman and Arman on 5 Bahman 1404 at their home in Shahinshahr and transferred to Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan. He has a military background and is currently a confectioner. The family is not allowed to visit him. There are reports of a threat of a death sentence, which the Isfahan judicial authorities have denied. In January 2026, the European Parliament adopted a strong resolution condemning the repression of protesters in Iran, called for increased accountability measures, supported listing the IRGC as a terrorist organisation, and took the important step of restricting access for Iranian diplomats to Parliament premises. These actions sent a clear message that the European Union will not remain silent in the face of systematic human rights violations. In light of this firm position, I respectfully urge you to consider concrete steps in this specific case: – Publicly sponsor Rahman Kiyani as part of a political sponsorship or detainee advocacy initiative for prisoners facing the death penalty. – Raise this case in plenary or committee discussions and with the EEAS. – Support inviting human rights defenders, former political prisoners, or family members to speak before Parliament or relevant committees to maintain visibility on urgent execution cases. – Call for an immediate halt to the execution and for full due process guarantees. Consistent and visible engagement by Members of the European Parliament has, in past cases, contributed to delaying or stopping executions. Sustained political sponsorship and institutional attention can provide a layer of protection for those most at risk. Further information on this case is available here: https://lookerstudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/71414769-37ca-4359-9e86-48c7c704da98/page/p_zkwf39o10d Given the gravity and urgency of the situation, timely action could be decisive. Sincerely, A concerned citizen
