Shahla (شهلا) and Nasreen Kaabi (نسرین کعبی) were two Iranian Kurdish sisters from Saqqez who served as nurses. On August 29, 1980, they were executed on charges of "participating in the conflicts in Kurdistan," "collaborating with attackers," and aiding "counter-revolutionaries". Their alleged crime stemmed from providing medical treatment to individuals deemed as counter-revolutionaries at Saqqez Hospital. Their death sentences were decreed by Sadegh Khalkhali and carried out at Sanandaj barracks. At the time of their execution, Shahla was 34 years old, and Nasrin was 29.[1][2]
