متنDear Marta Temido,
I am writing to bring to your immediate attention the case of Ehsan Hosseini, who is reportedly facing 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 stages.
Ehsan Hosseinipour Hesarloo, 18, was arrested in Pakdasht on January 8th, 2026 at 21:30. He is falsely accused of participating in riots, gathering and colluding against security, participating in the murder, setting fire to the Seyyed al-Shohada Mosque in Pakdasht, and destroying public property. The first court session was held on February 14th in Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court. His chosen lawyer (Amir Raisian) was barred. He is at risk of execution.
The European Parliament’s January 2026 resolution and related measures marked a clear escalation in the EU’s response to repression in Iran. At a time when visibility is being deliberately reduced, ensuring that individual cases receive sustained and visible attention is essential.
In this regard, I respectfully urge you to consider:
– Sponsoring Ehsan Hosseini as a detainee at risk of execution to ensure continuous visibility
– Raising this case in parliamentary discussions and with EU foreign policy representatives
– Supporting briefings or events with human rights defenders and experts monitoring imminent execution cases
– Encouraging coordinated attention to named detainees at risk, particularly where executions may occur under restricted visibility
When individual cases are visibly monitored by elected representatives, the level of international scrutiny increases, raising the cost of proceeding with executions.

Given the irreversible nature of the death penalty, timely and visible engagement may be decisive.
Sincerely,
A concerned citizen
