Sahar Delijani was born in Evin Prison in Tehran while both her parents were detained as leftist political activists, fighting against the newly established Islamic regime.
Sahar Delijani syntyi Evinin vankilassa Teheranissa, sillä hänen molemmat vanhempansa pidätettiin vasemmistolaisina poliittisina aktivisteina, jotka taistelivat vastikään perustettua islamilaista hallintoa vastaan.
