SubjectUrgent Human Rights Case Requiring Parliamentary Follow-Up – Nima Vahed
BodyDear Anders VISTISEN, I am writing to request your urgent attention to the case of Nima Vahed, who is currently facing the risk of execution in Iran. Nima Vahed, a 17-year-old boxer from Karaj, was arrested on 18 Dey 1404 and tortured for falsely confessing to carrying a weapon. This charge could lead to the death penalty. The European Parliament has already taken a firm stance in response to the situation in Iran, notably through its January 2026 resolution condemning repression, its position regarding the IRGC, and its measures limiting engagement with Iranian state representatives. These actions established a clear political framework. The next step is ensuring that individual cases at imminent risk are consistently integrated into that framework. In practical terms, I respectfully suggest: – Taking on Nima Vahed as a sponsored detainee under a structured parliamentary advocacy initiative focused specifically on death penalty cases. – Requesting updates from the EEAS on this individual case and ensuring it is raised in diplomatic exchanges. – Supporting formal invitations for Iranian human rights defenders, UN mandate holders, or affected family members to brief Members on urgent execution cases. – Encouraging coordinated cross-party visibility efforts, such as joint letters or questions highlighting named prisoners at risk. Sustained attention to specific detainees transforms general resolutions into tangible protection mechanisms. When Parliament members visibly monitor a case, it signals continued international scrutiny.

Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectUrgent Request for Action Regarding Nima Vahed
BodyDear Barry ANDREWS, I am writing to you with deep concern regarding the case of Nima Vahed, who is currently at serious risk of execution in Iran. I respectfully request your urgent attention and action. Nima Vahed, a 17-year-old boxer from Karaj, was arrested on 18 Dey 1404 and tortured for falsely confessing to carrying a weapon. This charge could lead to the death penalty. 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.

SubjectUrgent case of Nima Vahed – request for parliamentary engagement
BodyDear MEP Mieke ANDRIESE, I am writing regarding the case of Nima Vahed, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. Nima Vahed, a 17-year-old boxer from Karaj, was arrested on 18 Dey 1404 and tortured for falsely confessing to carrying a weapon. This charge could lead to the death penalty. 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
