@thetimes: Like other 21-year-olds, Taraneh Rahimi had big plans for her future. A passionate horse rider, she dreamt of owning her own stable one day. Her twin sister, Romina, would be by her side.⁠ ⁠ But on August 31, Taraneh was sentenced to death, while Romina received a 25-year prison sentence. Both women had taken part in the anti-regime protests that flooded Iran in January, their cousin, Masoud Nourmohammadi, told The Times.⁠ ⁠ About two weeks after the protests, masked men detained the sisters. They were held for months in solitary confinement in Isfahan, in central Iran, and subjected to torture without access to lawyers, according to Nourmohammadi.⁠ ⁠ At least 13 women are facing execution on political or security-related charges ⁠ #iran #women #middleeast #prison #protest
