Soha Bechara (Arabic: سهى بشارة; born 15 June 1967) is a Lebanese former prisoner at the Khiam detention center.

During the Israeli occupation of Southern Lebanon, she was active within various leftist political and militant movements, including Jammoul and the Union of Lebanese Democratic Youth.

[2] After her release, Bechara moved to France and then to Geneva, Switzerland, where she married a Swiss national, with whom she has two children.

[citation needed] In 2000, she published her autobiography, Résistante, relating her early life and her years in jail.

Parts of Bechara's story were used in Wajdi Mouawad's 2003 play Incendies, which Denis Villeneuve adapted to the screen in his 2010 film of the same title.
