Sahar Tabar/ Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie is making headlines once more. However, this time, it's not the Maleficent actress but her 'zombie' lookalike and Iranian teen Instagram sensation Sahar Tabar. She called out to Jolie for help and pay attention to the condition of women in her state.

She is known to posting heavily distorted images of herself online.

Who is Sahar Tabar?

19-year-old Sahar Tabar, whose real name is Fatemeh Khishvand, has been jailed for 10 years for posting distorted images and drastically altering her appearance. Tabar claims there's no surgery involved and she achieves her looks by makeup and editing, reported the Guardian.

Tabar, who had massive following on Instagram with close to 500,000 followers, had to deactivate her account following the court's ruling. As per Guardian's report, Tabar's medical records in the past have indicated a history of mental illness with various visits to psychiatric hospitals.

Known on Instagram as Sahar Tabar, she made headlines in the year 2017 after sharing photos on social media in which she looked like the distorted version of Jolie. She was also deemed as ‘zombie’ Angelina Jolie for her shocking makeover. However, she later revealed in an interview that she would just paint her face in that manner to use art to express herself.

Sahar Tabar rose to fame on Instagram for her drastic transformations with netizens talking about her resemblance to Angelina Jolie. In fact, the Guardian reported that Tabar also called upon Angelina Jolie to campaign for her release and said, "The Islamic Republic has a history of tormenting women. We need to be united against this gender apartheid."

Sahar Tabar Gets 10 Years of Jail in Iran

She was sentenced to 10 years in October 2019 and in April this year she reportedly contracted Covid 19. Tabar’s lawyer confirmed his client was sentenced to 10 years in prison in the past few days, the Daily Mail reported. While her attorneys tried to get her released on these grounds, it was not granted.

The 19-year-old influencer has been charged with “blasphemy, inciting violence, gaining income through inappropriate means, and encouraging youths to corruption,” reported the daily. Her lawyers, however, have appealed to the court to consider her minor age at the time the offences were said to have been committed as the factor to provide her some relief.

Medical records showed she had a mental illness, with a history of visits to psychiatric hospitals, making her lengthy sentence less understandable, The Guardian reported.
