German-Iranian dual national Jamshid Sharmahd was executed in Iran on charges of "corruption on Earth" linked to a 2008 terror attack. Rights group Amnesty International said that his "confessions" were forced.
Sharmahd was sentenced to death in February 2023 following a conviction by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Court on charges linked to his involvement in a deadly 2008 attack on a mosque in Shiraz that killed 14 people.
However, the formal conviction in Iran was for the vague Iranian criminal offense of spreading "corruption on Earth," a catch-all phrase the Islamic regime uses for an array of purported crimes, often related to religious values.
