SubjectRequest for Protective Parliamentary Sponsorship – Borhan Samikia
BodyDear Honourable Michalis Hadjipantela, I am reaching out regarding the urgent case of Borhan Samikia, who is currently at risk of 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 moments. Borhan Samikia, born in 2007, an 18-year-old unaccompanied student under welfare cover, was arrested in Tehran's Haft-Houd Square early in the 1404 Dey protests (around 18 Dey) and transferred to Tehran's Greater Prison. Reports indicate that he is at serious risk of execution. The European Parliament has recently taken firm positions in response to repression in Iran, including its January 2026 resolution and related measures. At a time when visibility is being deliberately reduced, continued and structured engagement is essential. In that context, I respectfully suggest: – Considering sponsorship of Borhan Samikia within a detainee advocacy framework to ensure sustained visibility – Raising this case with the EEAS and in parliamentary discussions – Supporting briefings or hearings with civil society representatives and legal experts on imminent execution cases – Encouraging coordinated attention to similar cases where executions may occur under restricted visibility When individual cases are consistently monitored by elected officials, the international cost of proceeding with executions increases. Further verified reporting on this case is available here: https://lookerstudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/71414769-37ca-4359-9e86-48c7c704da98/page/p_zkwf39o10d Given the urgency and irreversible consequences involved, timely and visible engagement could be critical. Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectFollow-up to Parliament’s Iran Resolution – Urgent Case of Borhan Samikia
BodyDear Alice Kuhnke, I am writing to draw your urgent attention to the case of Borhan Samikia, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. This case is unfolding amid a sharp 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 moments. Borhan Samikia, born in 2007, an 18-year-old unaccompanied student under welfare cover, was arrested in Tehran's Haft-Houd Square early in the 1404 Dey protests (around 18 Dey) and transferred to Tehran's Greater Prison. Reports indicate that he is at serious risk of execution. In January 2026, the European Parliament took a strong position against repression in Iran, signaling that such violations will not go unanswered. At a time when visibility is being deliberately reduced, continued and visible engagement is essential. I respectfully urge you to consider: – Publicly sponsoring Borhan Samikia within a political or detainee advocacy initiative – Raising this case in plenary, committee discussions, or with the EEAS – Supporting efforts to maintain visibility, including hearings with human rights defenders or affected families – Calling for an immediate halt to the execution and for full due process guarantees Further information on this case is available here: https://lookerstudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/71414769-37ca-4359-9e86-48c7c704da98/page/p_zkwf39o10d When visibility is limited, international attention can be one of the few remaining safeguards against irreversible harm. Timely action in this case could be decisive. Sincerely, A concerned citizen
