Actress Angelina Jolie ‘lookalike’ Sahar Tabar on a ventilator after testing positive to coronavirus in prison (Photos)

Social media star Sahar Tabar, real name, Fatemeh Khishvand is reportedly on a ventilator after testing positive for coronavirus while in prison.

The 22-year-old Sahar Tabar who hailed from Iran, says she looks like Hollywood actress, Angelina Jolie. She was arrested in October 2019 on charges including blasphemy, inciting violence, gaining income through inappropriate means and encouraging youths to corruption.

She was detained on the orders of Tehran’s guidance court, which deals with “cultural crimes and social and moral corruption”.

Sahar Tabar is reported to be seriously sick after she tested positive to coronavirus in prison.

The US-based Center For Human Rights In Iran said a judge in the country refused to grant her bail after her lawyers had asked for her to be released amid the country’s ravaging coronavirus outbreak.

“We find it unacceptable that this young woman has now caught the coronavirus in these circumstances while her detention order has been extended during all this time in jail,” human rights lawyer Payam Derafshan told the organization.

Mr. Derafshan pointed out that it had become a “habit” for the authorities to “deny everything” after they claimed Sahar had not been infected with the virus.

“It makes no sense to deny this. The prison director should acknowledge the infection and admit she has been hospitalized,” he said.

He added that Sahar and other inmates who have been put in prison on non-violent charges should also be released because of the outbreak.

Judge Mohammad Moghiseh is said to have repeatedly denied Sahar’s release on bail, even while the country has over 70,000 coronavirus cases.

The news comes a month after the country freed about 85,000 prisoners in an offer to curb the continuous spread of the pandemic.

Sahar Tabar shot to prominence on Instagram in 2017 after she reportedly had 50 surgeries to make herself look like Angelina Jolie but she later claimed that most of her look was mostly achieved through make-up and editing.
