Iranian-German Prisoner Jamshid Sharmahd, Executed in Iran for Terror Conviction: ABC News

In a shocking turn of events, Iranian-German prisoner Jamshid Sharmahd, who resided in the United States, has been executed in Iran over terror charges. The news of Sharmahd’s execution comes as a devastating blow to his family and supporters who had been fighting tirelessly for his release.

Sharmahd, who was the leader of an Iranian exile group called the Kingdom Assembly of Iran, was arrested in 2020 during a trip to Dubai and was subsequently extradited to Iran. He was accused of orchestrating a series of attacks in Iran, including a 2008 bombing that killed 14 people and injured dozens more.

Despite vehemently denying the charges against him, Sharmahd was sentenced to death by an Iranian court and his execution was carried out earlier this week. The news of his death has sparked outrage and condemnation from human rights organizations and government officials around the world.

Sharmahd’s family has expressed their grief and disbelief over his execution, stating that he was a peaceful activist who was dedicated to promoting democracy and freedom in Iran. They have called for an independent investigation into his death and are demanding justice for Sharmahd.

The execution of Jamshid Sharmahd serves as a grim reminder of the harsh realities faced by political prisoners in Iran and highlights the ongoing human rights abuses in the country. As the international community continues to grapple with this tragedy, the fight for justice and accountability for Sharmahd’s death remains paramount.
