Twin Iranian Sisters Face Execution in Isfahan Protests Crackdown

Two 19-year-old Iranian twin sisters, Taraneh and Romina Rahimi, were arrested during January protests in Isfahan; Taraneh was sentenced to death and Romina to 25 years in prison. Their family alleges torture and forced confessions by IRGC-linked guards, with no evidence of violence cited. The case underscores Iran’s intensified crackdown on dissent, as hundreds of protesters have been executed or received severe sentences this year and due-process concerns persist over appeal timelines.
