Jamshid Shamahd was one of several Iranian dissidents abroad in recent years either tricked or kidnapped back to Iran.
Iran ian-German prisoner Jamshid Sharmahd, who was kidnapped in Dubai in 2020 by Iran ian security forces, has been executed in Iran after being convicted on terror charges disputed by his family, the country's judiciary reported Monday.Sharmahd, 69, was one of several Iran ian dissidents abroad in recent years either tricked or kidnapped back to Iran as Tehran began lashing out after the collapse of its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.
State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.Amnesty International said the proceedings against Sharmahd had been a 'grossly unfair trial' because he had been denied access to an independent lawyer and 'the right to defend himself.''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,'' Amnesty said in one report on his case.
