SubjectUrgent case of Bita Ali Hemati – request for parliamentary engagement
BodyDear MEP Antonio LÓPEZ-ISTÚRIZ WHITE, I am writing regarding the case of Bita Ali Hemati, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. Wife of Mohammad Reza Majidi, resident of Tehran. Arrested at home by security forces at 3:00 AM on 19 Dey 1404. Sentenced to death on charges of war crimes and war crimes. A forced confession was extracted from her in the presence of Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei and broadcast on state television. Families have been informed of the verdict, but prisoners have not. Family visits are prohibited. The risk of immediate execution of the verdict is high. 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

SubjectFollow-up to Parliament’s Iran Resolution – Urgent Case of Bita Ali Hemati
BodyDear Thierry MARIANI, I am writing to draw your attention to the urgent case of Bita Ali Hemati, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. Wife of Mohammad Reza Majidi, resident of Tehran. Arrested at home by security forces at 3:00 AM on 19 Dey 1404. Sentenced to death on charges of war crimes and war crimes. A forced confession was extracted from her in the presence of Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei and broadcast on state television. Families have been informed of the verdict, but prisoners have not. Family visits are prohibited. The risk of immediate execution of the verdict is high. In January 2026, the European Parliament adopted a strong resolution condemning the repression of protesters in Iran, called for increased accountability measures, supported listing the IRGC as a terrorist organisation, and took the important step of restricting access for Iranian diplomats to Parliament premises. These actions sent a clear message that the European Union will not remain silent in the face of systematic human rights violations. In light of this firm position, I respectfully urge you to consider concrete steps in this specific case: – Publicly sponsor Bita Ali Hemati as part of a political sponsorship or detainee advocacy initiative for prisoners facing the death penalty. – Raise this case in plenary or committee discussions and with the EEAS. – Support inviting human rights defenders, former political prisoners, or family members to speak before Parliament or relevant committees to maintain visibility on urgent execution cases. – Call for an immediate halt to the execution and for full due process guarantees. Consistent and visible engagement by Members of the European Parliament has, in past cases, contributed to delaying or stopping executions. Sustained political sponsorship and institutional attention can provide a layer of protection for those most at risk.

Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectIntegrating Bita Ali Hemati’s case into Parliament’s Iran human rights framework
BodyDear MEP Niels GEUKING, 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 Bita Ali Hemati. Wife of Mohammad Reza Majidi, resident of Tehran. Arrested at home by security forces at 3:00 AM on 19 Dey 1404. Sentenced to death on charges of war crimes and war crimes. A forced confession was extracted from her in the presence of Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei and broadcast on state television. Families have been informed of the verdict, but prisoners have not. Family visits are prohibited. The risk of immediate execution of the verdict is high. 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
