SubjectUrgent case of Zahra Shahbaz Tabari – request for parliamentary engagement
BodyDear MEP Ľuboš Blaha, I am writing regarding the case of Zahra Shahbaz Tabari, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. This case comes amid a concerning increase 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 critical moments. Zahra Shahbaz Tabari, a 67-year-old retired electrical engineer from Rasht, is imprisoned in Lakan Prison in Rasht and sentenced to death on charges of rebellion and collaboration with opposition groups. Sources have continued to identify her as a political prisoner since Dey 1404. 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, the European Parliament strongly condemned the use of the death penalty and reaffirmed its commitment to accountability in Iran. At a time when visibility is being deliberately reduced, sustained attention to individual cases becomes essential. I respectfully urge you to: – Consider sponsoring Zahra Shahbaz Tabari to ensure continued visibility – Raise this case in parliamentary discussions or with the EEAS – Support efforts to maintain public attention, including briefings with human rights defenders or affected families When cases are visibly monitored, international scrutiny increases, raising the cost of proceeding with executions. Given the irreversible consequences involved, timely engagement could be decisive. Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectTranslating Parliament’s Iran Position into Case-Based Protection – Zahra Shahbaz Tabari
BodyDear Sebastião Bugalho, I am writing to bring to your immediate attention the case of Zahra Shahbaz Tabari, 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. Zahra Shahbaz Tabari, a 67-year-old retired electrical engineer from Rasht, is imprisoned in Lakan Prison in Rasht and sentenced to death on charges of rebellion and collaboration with opposition groups. Sources have continued to identify her as a political prisoner since Dey 1404. 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 Zahra Shahbaz Tabari 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

SubjectUrgent Request for Action Regarding Zahra Shahbaz Tabari
BodyDear MEP Danilo Della Valle, I am writing with urgent concern regarding Zahra Shahbaz Tabari, who is currently at imminent risk of execution in Iran. This case comes at a particularly alarming time. In recent months, Iranian authorities have intensified executions in parallel with widespread unrest and ongoing conflict. These actions are increasingly carried out under conditions of severe internet restrictions and communication blackouts, which limit transparency and prevent independent scrutiny. Zahra Shahbaz Tabari, a 67-year-old retired electrical engineer from Rasht, is imprisoned in Lakan Prison in Rasht and sentenced to death on charges of rebellion and collaboration with opposition groups. Sources have continued to identify her as a political prisoner since Dey 1404. Credible reports indicate that detainees are often subjected to unfair trials, restricted legal access, and coerced confessions. When executions take place during periods of reduced visibility, the risk of irreversible injustice is significantly heightened. In this context, international attention becomes one of the few remaining safeguards. I respectfully urge you to: * Call for an immediate halt to the execution of Zahra Shahbaz Tabari * Raise this case urgently with the European External Action Service and relevant EU institutions * Advocate for transparency and independent monitoring, particularly during ongoing communication restrictions For your reference, here are reliable sources: https://lookerstudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/71414769-37ca-4359-9e86-48c7c704da98/page/p_zkwf39o10d Time is critical. When visibility is deliberately reduced, silence can enable irreversible harm. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, A concerned citizen
