On November 27, 2025, a group of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) stood up for Zahra Tabari, a 67-year-old engineer and political prisoner who supports the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), echoing her voice within the halls of the European Parliament. Tabari was sentenced to death by the Iranian clerical regime’s judiciary following a sham 10-minute trial orchestrated by its executioners.
Several MEPs, holding photographs of the condemned woman, officially denounced the ruling as unjust and tyrannical, urging the regime to stop executions in Iran and break the vicious cycle of repression and terror.
Today, MEPs stood up for #ZahraTabari, echoing her voice inside the @Europarl_EN.

Tabari’s courage embodies the broader struggle of Iranians demanding justice and human rights amid escalating state violence. As one of the voices amplifying global resistance against the execution of political prisoners in Iran, her case has spotlighted the regime’s brutal tactics. The MEPs’ action serves as a resounding “No to Execution,” highlighting the international outcry against Iran’s pattern of show trials and death penalties targeting dissidents.
Podpiram prizadevanja mednarodne skupnosti za ustavitev usmrtitev v Iranu. ⚖️ Politični zaporniki in branitelji človekovih pravic se v Iranu soočajo z vedno hujšo represijo.
