Iranian woman sentenced to death only confessed to 'crime' so twin wouldn't be raped, mother says

Taraneh Rahimi was sentenced to death in Iran after confessing to participating in protests that swept the country in January, according to her mother, Marzieh Nourmohammadi. The mother states that Taraneh only made the confession to protect her twin sister, Romina, from being raped by agents at the prison where both were held. The twins were tortured for four months after their detention, becoming unrecognizable to their mother during the sentencing hearing. Romina received a 25-year prison sentence, and the difference between the sentences remains unexplained. A cousin of the twins living in Utah, USA, criticized the Iranian regime, stating that authorities do not follow their own laws, including legal deadlines for appeals.

Maria has 69% disability and continues without receiving invalidity pension that she says has already been refused 2 times by Social Security: "I want justice to be done"

Maria Vidal, a Portuguese woman with 69% motor disability, continues without receiving invalidity pension after seeing her application refused twice by Social Security. Despite living for decades with health problems, including Perthes disease, which forced her to adapt her daily routine and use a cushion in the car, Maria argues that the medical documentation presented demonstrates her limitations. Social Security explained that Maria stopped receiving sickness benefit in August 2025 because she was not considered unable to work. The article clarifies that the assignment of an invalidity pension depends on specific criteria, including the certification of permanent incapacity for work by the Incapacity Verification System, and that a percentage of disability, by itself, does not automatically guarantee access to the pension. Maria appeals: "I want justice to be done".
