Man sentenced to death in Iran 'died before his execution'
The Guardian
|November 06, 2024
Iran has claimed that an Iranian-German dual national who had been sentenced to death died last week before his execution could be carried out.
"Jamshid Sharmahd was sentenced to death, his execution was imminent, but he died before it could be carried out," the judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir told reporters without elaborating. It is understood Tehran claims he suffered a stroke. When Iranian officials announced Sharmahd's death on 28 October, they gave no indication he had died of natural causes, saying his sentence was final and he had been punished.
