Jamshid Sharmahd’s execution by Iran under questionable charges has sparked disbelief and outrage among Western nations and human rights organizations, calling into question Iran’s human rights record yet again.

Accused by Iran of orchestrating a 2008 mosque attack, Sharmahd’s arrest and hurried execution raise severe doubts about the fairness of his trial.

His family insists the charges were fabricated, arguing Sharmahd was among many dissidents Iran unlawfully detained.

Amnesty International described the judgment as “grossly unfair,” marking another blot in Iran’s judicial processes.

Sharmahd, a resident of California, was kidnapped by Iran’s security forces in 2020, yet both the German government and the U.S. State Department have remained silent on the execution.

Sharmahd’s trial was marred by allegations. Iran’s judiciary accused him of conspiring with Western intelligence and Israel.

These accusations, followed by a guilty verdict, corroborate long-standing concerns over Iran’s judiciary’s integrity.

Sharmahd was not only accused of the mosque attack; he was also allegedly involved in plotting further assaults and leaking Iran’s missile site secrets, The New York Post reports.

Iran is notorious for cracking down on dissidents, an action that has intensified since the dissolution of the 2015 nuclear deal.

Sharmahd was taken while on a business trip with his last known stop being Oman before Iran announced his capture.

Video footage showed Sharmahd blindfolded, further fueling allegations of Iran’s harsh interrogative techniques.

Iran’s actions against Sharmahd highlight the country’s resolve to silence opposition and maintain regime stability through fear.

Amnesty International’s criticism adds to the international clamor demanding transparency and fairness in Iran’s justice system.

The execution reflects unresolved global challenges in balancing national security with human rights.

“[He acted] under orders from masters in Western intelligence agencies, the United States and the child-killing Zionist regime,” declared the Iranian judiciary’s Mizan news agency

The case casts a shadow over Iran’s international relations, straining ties with Germany.

Lack of transparency and failure to respect international norms could further isolate Iran on a global scale.
