Jamshid Sharmahd (Persian: جمشید شارمهد; 23 March 1955 – 28 October 2024) was a German and Iranian software engineer.[1][2]
A permanent resident of the United States from 2003, Sharmahd had been targeted by the Iranian government for his connections to Tondar. He was abducted by Iranian agents in 2020, and held in solitary confinement by Iran in a forced disappearance. In a 2023 trial condemned by Amnesty International, the German Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the European Council, Sharmahd was sentenced to death.
Sharmahd was held in solitary confinement until his execution on 28 October 2024.[3]
