SubjectUrgent Request for Action Regarding Mohammadhossein Hosseini
BodyDear Honourable Alessandra MORETTI, I am writing to you with deep concern regarding the case of Mohammadhossein Hosseini, who is currently at serious risk of execution in Iran. I respectfully request your urgent attention and action. The 26-year-old footballer from Mashhad was arrested by security forces at his home on 23 Dey 1404 and transferred to Vakilabad Prison. He was then transferred to the Mashhad Intelligence Department. Serious charges of war, collusion, and leading protests. The threat of a death sentence has been reported, but the judiciary has denied it. 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

SubjectUrgent case of Mohammadhossein Hosseini – request for parliamentary engagement
BodyDear Honourable Danuše NERUDOVÁ, I am writing regarding the case of Mohammadhossein Hosseini, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. The 26-year-old footballer from Mashhad was arrested by security forces at his home on 23 Dey 1404 and transferred to Vakilabad Prison. He was then transferred to the Mashhad Intelligence Department. Serious charges of war, collusion, and leading protests. The threat of a death sentence has been reported, but the judiciary has denied it. 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

SubjectImmediate Attention Requested: Mohammadhossein Hosseini at Risk of Execution
BodyDear Cynthia NÍ MHURCHÚ, I am contacting you to urgently request your attention to the case of Mohammadhossein Hosseini, who is reportedly facing imminent execution in Iran. The 26-year-old footballer from Mashhad was arrested by security forces at his home on 23 Dey 1404 and transferred to Vakilabad Prison. He was then transferred to the Mashhad Intelligence Department. Serious charges of war, collusion, and leading protests. The threat of a death sentence has been reported, but the judiciary has denied it. The risk of irreversible harm in this case is severe. Public intervention by Members of the European Parliament has, in previous cases, contributed to halting executions and ensuring international scrutiny. Timely and visible engagement can have a meaningful impact. I respectfully urge you to: Issue a public statement calling for an immediate suspension of the execution. Engage with EU institutions and relevant diplomatic channels to press for a stay of execution. Advocate for fair legal proceedings, transparency, and access to independent legal representation. Support continued parliamentary attention to the broader use of the death penalty in Iran. Further information and reporting on this case can be found here: https://lookerstudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/71414769-37ca-4359-9e86-48c7c704da98/page/p_zkwf39o10d Your voice and position carry weight. Prompt action may help save a life. Sincerely, A concerned citizen
