Tahereh was the youngest of 8 brothers and sisters. After she graduated high school in 1979, she joined the Peykar Organization. She left the organization a few months before her arrest due to her own criticisms of their activities.

Tahereh also had a special wrath for the injustices of the Islamic Republic and rejected their ideology.
She had a special devotion to her nieces and nephews after their father, her brother, disappeared during the Iran-Iraq war.

Tahereh's mother went to the hospital every day in hopes of finding her daughter. Authorities never told her she'd been transferred to prison.
Her family did not learn of her killing until 3 days after her execution.
