BodyDear Robert BIEDROŃ,
I am reaching out regarding the urgent case of Sirvan Amini, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran.
Sirvan Amini, a Kurdish couple from Sanandaj, was arrested by security forces on 16 Esfand 1404 and transferred to an unknown location. There is no information on the charges, lawyer, or exact location of detention.
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 Sirvan Amini 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.

Given the urgency and irreversible consequences involved, proactive parliamentary engagement at this stage could be critical.
Sincerely,
A concerned citizen
