About

Taraneh Rahimi, along with her twin sister Romina, were 19 years old and still attending high school when they were arrested. They were taken from their home in the middle of the night by individuals identified as belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. Their mother, Marzieh Nourmohammadi, spent four months searching for information about them before learning their fate. The sisters were reportedly seized due to a decision they made. Recent reports indicate that Taraneh and Romina Rahimi have been sentenced to death. Their case is highlighted as an example of the Iranian regime's widening campaign of executions and suppression of dissent, particularly against young people involved in protests.
