The family of 20-year-old Iranian twins Taraneh and Romina Rahimi says they have been tortured in prison and forced to confess to charges they deny. Relatives say Taraneh was sentenced to death and Romina to 25 years in prison in Isfahan, where they were jailed in connection with mass protests.

Iranian twin sisters Taraneh and Romina Rahimi turned 20 behind bars this year, awaiting the outcome of a case that has drawn scrutiny over allegations of torture, forced confessions, and severe mistreatment of the defendants.
