Iran executes German citizen

It has been announced that Iranian-German dual citizen Jamshid Sharmahd has been executed in Iran for his alleged role in terrorist activities. The death sentence for Sharmahd was upheld by the Supreme Court in April 2023. The 69-year-old Sharmahd was found guilty and sentenced to death in February of last year for his involvement in a 2008 bombing in the city of Shiraz that resulted in the deaths of 14 people.

REACTION FROM THE GERMAN CHANCELLOR

In a statement regarding the execution, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said, "The execution of Jamshid Sharmahd by the Iranian regime is a scandal that I condemn in the strongest possible terms. Jamshid Sharmahd was not even given the opportunity to defend himself against the charges brought against him during his trial."
