A young woman known for posting photos of herself looking like a “zombie Angelina Jolie” has revealed her real face on Iranian TV after her release from jail.
Sahar Tabar, from Tehran, had previously led many to believe her look was the result of botched plastic surgery, but she finally showed her real self to cameras this week.
The 21 year-old, whose real name is Fatemah Khishvand, was jailed for obscenity and insulting the hijab, according to the Iran Human Rights News Agency.
Her appearance attracted attention online but it turned out the images were the result of make-up and Photoshop
She was arrested in October 2019 for “corruption” and “blasphemy” and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
But after serving 14 months, Ms Tabar was released from jail, as reported by activist Masih Alinejad.
When she was sentenced to jail in 2020, Ms Alinejad wrote online: “Sahar Tabar is only 19. Her joke landed her in jail.
“Her mother cries every day to get her innocent daughter freed. Dear Angelina Jolie, we need your voice here. Help us.”
