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 seven years old. He has been 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 arrested Sharmahd in Dubai and brought him to Iran. The Iranian government alleges that Sharmahd is responsible for a 2008 attack on a mosque in Shiraz that killed 14 people and injured 200. He has also been accused of being a spy for Western Intelligence, which is a common accusation made of regime critics. His family deny all accusations. His abduction is one of a series of kidnappings carried out by the government of Iran.

Biography

Jamshid Sharmahd was born in Tehran in 1955 and moved with his father to Hanover, Germany, where he grew up in a German-Iranian household. He studied to become an electrician and in 1980 briefly returned to Iran where he got married. In 1982, he returned to Germany with his wife and daughter Gazelle Sharmahd.

In 2007, a technical glitch exposed his contributions to the website of the dissident group Tondar publicly. This led to targeted harassment and assassination attempts against him by the Iranian government.

In July 2020 the Iranian regime kidnapped him during a stopover in Dubai, and took him to Iran where he has been held ever since. His family claimed that he was going to be executed.

At last Iran's court sentenced him to death, on charges of spreading corruption on the Earth through planning and directing terrorist acts.
