A 19 year old Iranian woman named Sahar Tabar had posted several distorted images of herself resembling Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie on social media. The woman shot to fame for her numerous cosmetic surgeries.
She was arrested over her social media activities in October last year. According to The Guardan report, she has now been sentenced to 10 years in jail for blasphemy. After undergoing plastic surgery, she had altered her face to resemble a spooky version of Angelina Jolie and was in fact called ‘Zombie Angelina Jolie’ The charges against her were cultural crimes as well as social and moral corruption. It is rumoured that she underwent 50 plastic surgeries to look like Jolie but all her posts were heavily edited. Sabar said that she was one of Jolie’s biggest fans and she would do anything to look like her. She said that it is an art and a way of self expression. She has also been on a strict diet to ensure that her weight does not exceed 40 kgs.She currently has 3,25,000 followers on Instagram and the number is increasing each day.
However, some of the comments on her pictures are far from flattering. One user even compared her to a zombie and asked ‘ who dropped a bomb on her face?’ Others called her pictures scary, disgusting, zombie etc.
