Iranian Instagram Influencer Sahar Tabar, Known as ‘Zombie Angelina Jolie,’ Released from Prison
Sahar Tabar, an Iranian Instagram influencer, gained notoriety in 2017 for her eerie photos where she appeared to resemble Hollywood star Angelina Jolie. Dubbed ‘Zombie Angelina Jolie,’ Tabar was arrested in October 2019 on various charges, including blasphemy. Recently, she has revealed her face after spending 14 months in prison.
Tabar’s release coincides with widespread protests in Iran, sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who died in police custody for not wearing her hijab correctly. The protests have highlighted issues of women’s rights and government repression in the country.
