The young Instagram profile, who on social media called herself Sahar Tabar, achieved incipient fame on social media by posting digitally manipulated photos of herself that gave her a zombie appearance.
At most, he had close to half a million followers.
Accused of blasphemy
But the terrifying issue was not well received by the Iranian regime. A year ago, she was arrested and charged with, among other things, blasphemy, earning money through inappropriate activities, and morally corrupting young people.
Now her lawyer claims she has been sentenced to 10 years in prison, The Guardian reports.
In the fall, Iranian state television broadcast a likely forced confession by Khishvand in which he expressed remorse for his actions. In the article, she was described as “a victim with an abnormal personality and a mental health condition” who sought “vulgarity” on social media.
Psychiatric problems
Hospital records indicate that during his education he had mental health problems and visited psychiatric clinics several times. A fact that makes his prison sentence even more alarming.
Over the past year, her lawyers tried to have the nineteen-year-old released on bail, among other things, noting the young girl’s age when the photos were published (2017), but without listening.
Khishvand appealed in the spring to be released when she showed symptoms of covid-19, writes The Guardian.
The nineteen-year-old is the latest in a long line of Iranian influencers who have been severely punished for their presence on social media. Among other things, several young Iranians have been arrested after posting videos of them dancing, according to the BBC.
