SubjectUrgent Human Rights Case Requiring Parliamentary Follow-Up – Mohammad Afchangi
BodyDear MEP Maria Noichl, I am writing to request your urgent attention to the case of Mohammad Afchangi, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. This case arises 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 stages. Mohammad Afchangi, an 18-year-old footballer, was arrested on 20 Dey 1404 near Rasht Municipality Square. He was first transferred to Rasht Information Detention Center and then to Rudbar Prison. He was charged with leading protests by requesting a war crime. Rumors of his release on bail in Bahman 1404 were raised but denied by more reliable sources and he is still reported to be in prison. The European Parliament has already taken a firm stance in response to repression in Iran, including its January 2026 resolution and related measures. At a time when visibility is being deliberately reduced, translating that position into timely action on individual cases is essential. I respectfully urge you to consider: – Sponsoring Mohammad Afchangi as a detainee at risk of execution to ensure sustained visibility – Raising this case with the EEAS and in parliamentary discussions – Supporting briefings with human rights defenders or affected families on imminent execution cases – Encouraging coordinated cross-party attention to prisoners facing execution under restricted visibility When individual cases are visibly monitored, the international cost of proceeding with executions increases.

Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectTranslating Parliament’s Iran Position into Case-Based Protection – Mohammad Afchangi
BodyDear Honourable Jan-Christoph Oetjen, I am writing to bring to your immediate attention the case of Mohammad Afchangi, 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 Afchangi, an 18-year-old footballer, was arrested on 20 Dey 1404 near Rasht Municipality Square. He was first transferred to Rasht Information Detention Center and then to Rudbar Prison. He was charged with leading protests by requesting a war crime. Rumors of his release on bail in Bahman 1404 were raised but denied by more reliable sources and he is still reported to be in prison. 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 Mohammad Afchangi 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

SubjectFollow-up to Parliament’s Iran Resolution – Urgent Case of Mohammad Afchangi
BodyDear Honourable Bert-Jan Ruissen, I am writing to draw your urgent attention to the case of Mohammad Afchangi, 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 Afchangi, an 18-year-old footballer, was arrested on 20 Dey 1404 near Rasht Municipality Square. He was first transferred to Rasht Information Detention Center and then to Rudbar Prison. He was charged with leading protests by requesting a war crime. Rumors of his release on bail in Bahman 1404 were raised but denied by more reliable sources and he is still reported to be in prison. 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 Mohammad Afchangi 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
