Her mother cries every day to get her innocent daughter freed. Dear Angelina Jolie! we need your voice here. Help us, appealing the Hollywood star to campaign on Tabar’s behalf.
Iranian state television made an interview last October with Khishvand, she seemed regretful and said that she regretted her actions. During the interview, she said: I saw people were following what I did and, when the likes grew, I felt I was doing the right thing.
