SubjectIntegrating Nima Amiri’s case into Parliament’s Iran human rights framework
BodyDear Bart GROOTHUIS, The European Parliament’s January 2026 resolution on repression in Iran established a clear mandate for sustained scrutiny of executions, accountability for systemic abuses, support for listing the IRGC as a terrorist organisation, and continued restrictions on Iranian diplomats’ access to Parliament premises. Translating these positions into consistent parliamentary practice remains essential. In that context, I would like to draw your attention to the case of Nima Amiri. Nima Amiri, a 20-year-old graphic design student at Azad University/Tehran, was arrested on the morning of 29 Bahman 1404 when security forces stormed her home in Tehran. Electronic devices were confiscated. She is said to be transferred to the Revolutionary Court, but her whereabouts and condition are unknown. Further information is available here: https://lookerstudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/71414769-37ca-4359-9e86-48c7c704da98/page/p_zkwf39o10d Political sponsorship of detainees sentenced to death provides a structured channel for follow-up that extends beyond public statements. Incorporating this case into committee work, raising it through written questions to the EEAS, and facilitating policy discussions with human rights defenders or family members can help ensure regular institutional engagement. Positioning individual cases within Parliament’s broader Iran strategy reinforces coherence between resolutions and day-to-day parliamentary oversight. Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectUrgent case of Nima Amiri – request for parliamentary engagement
BodyDear MEP Michalis HADJIPANTELA, I am writing regarding the case of Nima Amiri, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. Nima Amiri, a 20-year-old graphic design student at Azad University/Tehran, was arrested on the morning of 29 Bahman 1404 when security forces stormed her home in Tehran. Electronic devices were confiscated. She is said to be transferred to the Revolutionary Court, but her whereabouts and condition are unknown. 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

SubjectUrgent Request for Action Regarding Nima Amiri
BodyDear MEP Alessandra MORETTI, I am writing to you with deep concern regarding the case of Nima Amiri, who is currently at serious risk of execution in Iran. I respectfully request your urgent attention and action. Nima Amiri, a 20-year-old graphic design student at Azad University/Tehran, was arrested on the morning of 29 Bahman 1404 when security forces stormed her home in Tehran. Electronic devices were confiscated. She is said to be transferred to the Revolutionary Court, but her whereabouts and condition are unknown. 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. For your reference, here are reliable sources covering this case: https://lookerstudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/71414769-37ca-4359-9e86-48c7c704da98/page/p_zkwf39o10d Time is critical. Strong and principled action from European representatives can make a meaningful difference. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I sincerely hope you will consider taking action.
