Jamshid Sharmahd's Family Demands Proof of Execution Amid Diplomatic Tensions

The family of the executed German-Iranian activist calls for evidence of his death as they criticize international response and demand the return of his body.

• Jamshid Sharmahd, a German citizen, was reportedly executed in Iran on charges of 'corruption on earth,' but his family has not received any proof of his death.
• Sharmahd's daughter, Gazelle, has openly questioned the lack of evidence and urged Germany and the United States to verify the execution and repatriate his remains.
• The case has sparked significant diplomatic tension, leading Germany to close three Iranian consulates and consider further sanctions against Iran.
• Gazelle Sharmahd criticized both the German and US governments for not exerting enough pressure to prevent her father's execution, despite opportunities for prisoner exchanges.
• Human rights organizations and Sharmahd's family have condemned the trial as unfair, arguing that the charges were politically motivated and part of a broader pattern of repression in Iran.
