Two 19‑year‑old twin sisters have received death sentences in Iran, a stark contradiction to international norms that bar capital punishment for minors. The Mirror US detailed that they were dragged from their beds, had their feet broken and hair ripped out, while the Irish Star reported they were left unrecognizable after the alleged torture.

Their plight underscores a harsh punitive approach that directly targets young adults and their families. Iran International noted the regime denied food to one twin, and Fox News framed the case as a window onto Tehran’s widening death campaign.

Observers will watch for any legal appeals or international diplomatic responses that could influence the twins’ fate.
