Berlin warns of ‘serious consequences’ for ‘inhumane regime’ after 69-year-old Jamshid Sharmahd put to death

Iran has executed a 69-year-old German-Iranian political scientist after years in captivity, sparking outrage in Germany and beyond.

Berlin warned of “serious consequences” for Iran’s “inhumane regime” after Jamshid Sharmahd was put to death on Monday, while a Norway-based human rights group labelled the execution the “extrajudicial killing of a hostage”.

Sharmahd, a German citizen of Iranian descent and a US resident, was seized by Iranian authorities in 2020 while travelling through the United Arab Emirates, according to his family.

    See, Iran, this is the problem. Israel doesn’t have the grounds to wage a war, but when you kill those that disagree with you, it’s really hard for anyone to desire helping you

      Iran is probably just trying to be like Saudi Arabia. The Saudis murder hundreds of dissidents and the empire just sends them more weapons. Not to mention the zios. Genocide brings in the really big bucks.

    How dare you disagree that we are a fair and just government.

    Your crime for disagreeing is being stoned to death in the street.

    Totally fair and balanced.

      Soooo… I don’t think this bot should be used in general, but an objective improvement would be to only have it list a source at most one time per comment.
