Swiss Tourist Sentenced to One Year in Bali for Instagram Posts Mocking Nyepi

A Bali court sentenced Swiss tourist Luzian Andrin Zgraggen to one year in prison for posting Instagram videos of himself outdoors during Nyepi — Bali's sacred Day of Silence — with profane comments that authorities said insulted Hindu tradition. Zgraggen apologized during trial. Custodial sentences of this length for foreign tourists convicted of religious insult in Indonesia remain uncommon, raising the stakes for visitor conduct on social media.
