Zhaleh Sharmahd, the daughter of Jamshid Sharmahd, an Iranian-German citizen who is imprisoned in Iran, tweeted after the eighth and final session of her father’s trial, stating that his life is in danger. She had previously stated that he was accused of plotting against the state, which carries the death penalty, and had introduced an online petition to stop this sentence. Human rights organizations and activists have repeatedly warned that Jamshid Sharmahd is at risk of execution.
