Jamshid Sharmahd (Template:Lang-fa; born 23 March 1955) is a German-Iranian journalist and software engineer. He was born in Tehran and moved with his family to Germany when he was 7 years old. He grew up in a German-Iranian household and is a german citizen since 1995. He established his own software company and in 2003 moved to the United States, where he is a legal resident. In late July 2020, the Intelligence of the Islamic Regime kidnapped Sharmahd from Dubai and brought him to Iran. The Iranian government alleges Sharmahd is responsible for a 2008 attack on a mosque in Shiraz that killed 14 people and wounded 200 more. It is unclear if such an explosion has really taken place or if it is part if a propaganda program for the persecution of dissidents and Regime critics. He has also been alleged to be a spy of Western Intelligence, which is a common accusation of regime critics and his family denies all accusations. He is a victim of a series of Islamic Regime kidnappings that have taken place in recent years in order to silence the opposition.
