Who is German-Iranian political dissident Jamshid Sharmahd

Iranian state television aired propaganda videos showing him “confessing” to having a role in an April 2008 explosion in Shiraz, Fars province, in which 14 people were killed according to Iranian state media. In one propaganda video, released in January 2021, his forced “confessions” were interspersed with clips of his broadcasts for the Kingdom Assembly of Iran with him identified by the narrator as the group’s leader and a “terrorist”, undermining his presumption of innocence and right not to self-incriminate.
