SubjectUrgent case of Najme Amini – request for parliamentary engagement
BodyDear Aodhán Ó RÍORDÁIN, I am writing regarding the case of Najme Amini, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. Najmeh Amini, a 23-year-old accounting student, was arrested on 11 Bahman 1404 in Mashhad's Ferdowsi Bazaar and transferred to Vakilabad Prison. She is facing charges of war crimes and is deprived of an independent lawyer. She was previously imprisoned during the 1401 protests. 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

SubjectUrgent Request for Action Regarding Najme Amini
BodyDear Honourable Nacho SÁNCHEZ AMOR, I am writing to you with deep concern regarding the case of Najme Amini, who is currently at serious risk of execution in Iran. I respectfully request your urgent attention and action. Najmeh Amini, a 23-year-old accounting student, was arrested on 11 Bahman 1404 in Mashhad's Ferdowsi Bazaar and transferred to Vakilabad Prison. She is facing charges of war crimes and is deprived of an independent lawyer. She was previously imprisoned during the 1401 protests. 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. Strong and principled action from European representatives can make a meaningful difference. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I sincerely hope you will consider taking action. Sincerely, A concerned citizen
