SubjectRequest for Protective Parliamentary Sponsorship – Mani Vafadar

BodyDear Honourable Marco Tarquinio, I am reaching out regarding the urgent case of Mani Vafadar, who is currently at risk of 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 moments. Mani Vafadar, a 17-year-old Kurdish teenager from Bojnourd, was arrested on Dey 20 during the nationwide protests of Dey 1404 and is being held in Bojnourd Correctional Center. There have been no reports of his release or change in his condition. The European Parliament has recently taken firm positions in response to repression in Iran, including its January 2026 resolution and related measures. At a time when visibility is being deliberately reduced, continued and structured engagement is essential. In that context, I respectfully suggest: – Considering sponsorship of Mani Vafadar within a detainee advocacy framework to ensure sustained visibility – Raising this case with the EEAS and in parliamentary discussions – Supporting briefings or hearings with civil society representatives and legal experts on imminent execution cases – Encouraging coordinated attention to similar cases where executions may occur under restricted visibility When individual cases are consistently monitored by elected officials, the international cost of proceeding with executions increases. Further verified reporting on this case is available here: https://lookerstudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/71414769-37ca-4359-9e86-48c7c704da98/page/p_zkwf39o10d Given the urgency and irreversible consequences involved, timely and visible engagement could be critical. Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectTranslating Parliament’s Iran Position into Case-Based Protection – Mani Vafadar

BodyDear Honourable Marta Temido, I am writing to bring to your immediate attention the case of Mani Vafadar, 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. Mani Vafadar, a 17-year-old Kurdish teenager from Bojnourd, was arrested on Dey 20 during the nationwide protests of Dey 1404 and is being held in Bojnourd Correctional Center. There have been no reports of his release or change in his condition. 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 Mani Vafadar 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
