Sahar Tabar: Jailed Iranian Instagram star 'has coronavirus'

An Iranian Instagram star has contracted coronavirus in prison, her lawyer says.

Fatemeh Khishvand, better known by her Instagram name Sahar Tabar, came to fame after posting photos in which she resembled what has been described as a zombie version of Angelina Jolie.

Ms Khishvand was arrested in late 2019 for crimes including blasphemy and instigating violence.

But the head of the prison where she is being held denied she was infected.

"The news released by the lawyer of Fatemeh Khishvand is not true and I deny it," Mehdi Mohammadi, the head of Shahr-e Rey women's prison, told Iran's ISNA news agency. ...

Ms Khishvand's lawyer Payam Derafshan wrote an open letter to Iran's judiciary, which he posted on his Instagram account.

He said he had been told by Ms Khishvand's mother that his client had been moved to a quarantine section of the prison after displaying symptoms of the virus.

He added that Ms Khishvand - who was, he said, a minor when the "crimes" were committed - had not been eligible for temporary release because her case was still being processed. ...

One minute you're a zombified Angelina Jolie on Instagram, the next you're a jailed political dissident with a potentially fatal virus.

Sors immanis
et inanis,
rota tu volubilis,
status malus,
vana salus
semper dissolubilis.

Well I guess a significant proportion of the Iranian population may have mental health issues when they have the misfortune to live under such a vile, totalitarian regime.

Here's some more bad new.

Iran has executed a journalist who was accused of using a messaging app to stir up dissent.

Ruhollah Zam was hanged on Saturday after the supreme court upheld a death sentence against him, state television reported. Zam, who had been living in exile in France, was reportedly detained after travelling to Iraq last year. He ran Amad News, a popular anti-government website Iran accused of inciting the 2017-18 protests.

The network, which had more than a million followers on the encrypted messaging app Telegram, shared videos of protests and damaging information about Iranian officials. It was removed by Telegram for breaching the company's rules on posting dangerous content, but later reopened under a different name.

Regardless of politics, she isn't the person who you want as a cultural ambassador, somehow.

How you shut up such a person in a dignified way that respects their rights to be an idiot, I haven't the answer to that.

You would think she might have had the cachet to choose an Iranian actress? They have a big film industry. Americanisation isnt the way...maybe not even for americans.
