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.
