Iran has executed Jamshid Sharmahd, a 68-year-old German citizen and US resident, following his conviction for terrorism. Sharmahd, a software developer and California resident, was reportedly abducted by Iranian agents from his hotel in Dubai in 2020 and rendered back to Iran. He was sentenced to death last year on charges of 'corruption on Earth' in connection with an alleged terrorist bombing in Shiraz in 2008. Sharmahd, who led the Tondar organization, was an Iranian-German national. His daughter, Gazelle Sharmahd, had been advocating for his release since his abduction.
