A court in Iran has sentenced German-Iranian dissident Jamshid Sharmahd to death on the charge of "corruption on Earth".
Sharmahd, 67, who lived in the US, is believed to have been kidnapped by Iranian agents in Dubai in 2020 and then forcibly taken to Iran via Oman.
Iran accused him of being the leader of a pro-monarchist terrorist group.
He denied the claim and a human rights group said he faced a grossly unfair trial based on forced "confessions".
Germany’s Foreign Minister, Annalena Baerbock, condemned the sentence as "absolutely unacceptable".
It comes just over a month after Iran executed British-Iranian dual national Alireza Akbari.
