SubjectRequest for Protective Parliamentary Sponsorship – Araz Jasmian Azad
BodyDear Ľuboš BLAHA, I am reaching out regarding the urgent case of Araz Jasmian Azad, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. Araz Jasemian Azad, a 21-year-old student in the Dey Naval Academy, has been arrested along with his 12-13-year-old brother Artin in Shahinshahr, Isfahan. Araz is being held in Dey Dastjar Prison and his brother in a correctional facility. The family is unaware of their status and has limited access to a lawyer. No formal charges have been filed. The European Parliament has recently taken decisive positions in response to ongoing repression in Iran, including its January 2026 resolution, measures addressing the role of the IRGC, and steps to limit engagement with representatives of the Iranian authorities. These actions underscore Parliament’s recognition that systematic human rights violations require sustained and structured political response. In that spirit, I would like to propose a focused, case-based approach: – Consider formally sponsoring Araz Jasmian Azad under a political detainee advocacy framework, ensuring regular follow-up and visibility at parliamentary level. – Encourage coordination among Members to adopt additional death penalty cases collectively, creating a structured sponsorship network. – Support the organisation of hearings or briefings where Iranian civil society representatives and legal experts can provide updates on imminent execution cases. – Explore cross-party statements or emergency debates specifically addressing prisoners currently sentenced to death. Political sponsorship and continued institutional visibility can serve as protective mechanisms. When individual cases are consistently monitored by elected officials, the cost of proceeding with executions increases at the international level. 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, proactive parliamentary engagement at this stage could be critical. Sincerely, A concerned citizen
