Džamšid Šarmahd

activist

Džamšid Šarmahd was a German-Iranian dissident and prominent member of the monarchist organization Tondar, which aimed to promote regime change in Iran. He was known for his activism against the Iranian government and had lived in the United States for many years before being abducted by Iranian agents in 2020 while traveling in Dubai. His case drew international attention, especially after reports of his death in custody, highlighting the risks faced by Iranian dissidents abroad. His plight serves as a grim reminder of the lengths to which the Iranian regime may go to silence opposition, including potential threats against those living in the diaspora.
