Sahar Tabar, a young Iranian woman, garnered attention for her extensive plastic surgeries aimed at resembling Angelina Jolie. Despite never explicitly stating her goal, her altered appearance sparked debate. Tabar’s social media presence, particularly on Instagram, showcased her transformed features, leading to the removal of her account due to controversial content.
n an interview, Tabar clarified that her intention was not to fully emulate Jolie but to express herself artistically. However, her actions resulted in severe consequences. Arrested for posting blasphemous photos and facing various accusations, she received a ten-year prison sentence. During her incarceration, activist Masih Alinejad advocated for her release, calling on Jolie to speak out.
After 14 months, Tabar was freed, underscoring ongoing struggles for justice in Iran. Alinejad’s efforts highlight the role of activism in addressing human rights issues.
