SubjectUrgent case of Mohammadjavad Zini Vandi – request for parliamentary engagement
BodyDear Honourable Adrián VÁZQUEZ LÁZARA, I am writing regarding the case of Mohammadjavad Zini Vandi, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. A 14-year-old Kurdish teenager from Darehshahr, Ilam, was arbitrarily arrested on 29 Bahman 1404. The family is unaware of his whereabouts and condition. 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

SubjectImmediate Attention Requested: Mohammadjavad Zini Vandi at Risk of Execution
BodyDear MEP Isabel WISELER-LIMA, I am contacting you to urgently request your attention to the case of Mohammadjavad Zini Vandi, who is reportedly facing imminent execution in Iran. A 14-year-old Kurdish teenager from Darehshahr, Ilam, was arbitrarily arrested on 29 Bahman 1404. The family is unaware of his whereabouts and condition. 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

SubjectIntegrating Mohammadjavad Zini Vandi’s case into Parliament’s Iran human rights framework
BodyDear MEP Daniel ATTARD, 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 Mohammadjavad Zini Vandi. A 14-year-old Kurdish teenager from Darehshahr, Ilam, was arbitrarily arrested on 29 Bahman 1404. The family is unaware of his whereabouts and condition. 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
