Sahar Tabar, just 19 years old, is facing a harsh sentence after being jailed a year ago and looking to help the actress.
Sahar Tabar, the Iranian instagramer who became famous for undergoing numerous make-up and digital retouching operations to look like a diabolical Angelina Jolie, faces a harsh sentence of ten years in prison accused of disrespecting the Islamic Republic and corrupt the young. The 19-year-old, whose real name is Fatemeh Khishvan, has been jailed for a year and asked to be released a few months ago on the grounds that she had contracted COVID-19, but now the situation could be much worse, as The Guardian explains. .
In social networks, she touched half a million followers of hers and very soon she began to be known as the "zombie Angelina Jolie", but the authorities of her country quickly began to investigate her. She was accused of blasphemy, inciting violence, obtaining income by improper means and encouraging youth to corruption, and last October she showed her remorse on Iranian television. In the images she was described as "a victim with an abnormal personality and mental state" who was only looking for "vulgarity" on social media.
She never wanted to give up and even launched a message for Angelina Jolie to start a campaign to end her out of prison: "The Islamic Republic has a history of tormenting women. We need to be united against this gender apartheid", then expressed.
The young woman's lawyer has assured that she was acquitted of two of the four charges that she had against her and refused to give more details of the case because they were still awaiting the arrival of a possible pardon. However, he has insisted that there are medical reports showing that Sahar Tabar has a mental illness and that she has visited psychiatric centers on several occasions, which makes the ten-year sentence imposed on her inexplicable. At trial, her legal team asked for her release on bail and reiterated that she was just a teenager when she committed the alleged crimes.
