Iran executes German-Iranian national in terror conviction case

ai generated text

Jamshid Sharmahd, a 69-year-old German-Iranian dissident, was executed by Iran for "corruption on earth". He was accused of leading a US-based pro-monarchist group and helping to orchestrate a deadly terrorist bombing in Iran in 2008. Sharmahd, who operated a website and made videos claiming the group was arming people to fight, was seized by Iranian authorities in August 2020 while traveling through the United Arab Emirates. Iran does not recognize dual citizenship, and Sharmahd's family disputed the allegations against him, working for years to secure his release. The German government warned Iran that the execution of a German citizen would have "serious consequences," and a Norway-based human rights group called the execution the "extrajudicial killing of a hostage."

    1. This terrible execution shows us clearly how we should judge this new government.
    2. There were some voices who wanted to wait and see how the regime would develop after Pezeshkian's election.

    1. The killing of Jamshid Sharmahd shows what kind of inhumane regime rules (in Iran).
    2. We made it crystal clear to Tehran time and again that the execution of a German national would have severe consequences.
    3. This underlines the fact that no one is safe under the new government either.

    1. Without a doubt, the divine promise regarding the supporters of terrorism will be fulfilled, and this is a definite promise.

    1. The Islamic Republic understands no language of peace or diplomacy.
    2. Their language is that of hostage-taking, execution, assassination and murder.

    1. He has been sentenced to death after a legal proceeding that has been widely criticized as a sham trial.

    1. We have long made clear that we oppose the way Iran carries out executions, often in a way that fundamentally violates human rights.

    1. The government-appointed lawyer said that without payment of $250,000 from the family, he would not defend Jamshid Sharmahd in court and would only 'sit there,'

    1. Jamshid Sharmahd was kidnapped in the United Arab Emirates and unlawfully transferred to Iran, where he was sentenced to death without a fair trial.
    2. The entire process, including his arrest, conviction, and execution, constitutes a serious violation of international law.
