Two women, Taraneh Rahimi and Leila Abolhasani, were sentenced to death in Iran for alleged links to the January anti-government protests.
The two condemned women were tried in separate proceedings, both related to incidents that occurred in the city of Isfahan.
The January anti-government protests represent one of the most recent episodes of contestation in Iran against the regime.
These sentences come in a context of continuous repression against participants in demonstrations in the country, where several people face charges related to participation in protests.
