Iran sentences women to death over protests
The article discusses Iran's judiciary issuing new death sentences against two women, as part of cases related to the anti-government protests that took place in Isfahan city in January. Although no women directly involved in the demonstrations have yet been executed, 29 men have been executed in connection with related incidents, while death sentences against women remain under review or pending implementation. Among the women at risk of execution are Taraneh Rahimi (20 years old), who has been sentenced to death, and Leila Abolhasani (43 years old), who was convicted of arson at a store, despite her relatives’ denial of the charges against her. Human rights organizations point to an escalation in executions related to the protests in Iran, amid rising political and security tensions in the country.
