Gholriz Ghahraman, a former UN human rights lawyer, became the first refugee from Iran to be sworn in by the New Zealand government. She fled Iran as a child with her family, who were granted political asylum in New Zealand.
Today, however, she resigned after surveillance footage emerged showing her allegedly taking a designer handbag from an Oakland boutique.
