Broken feet, ripped-out hair and now a death sentence: the fate of twin sisters jailed over Iran protests
Two Iranian twin sisters, Taraneh Rahimi and Romina, were sentenced to death after being convicted of involvement in anti‑government protests. While in detention, they reported severe abuse, including threats that guards would rape Romina unless she signed a confession. Human‑rights groups say the case exemplifies Iran’s harsh crackdown on dissent and the use of coerced statements.
