Swiss Tourist Gets One Year in Bali for Nyepi Instagram Posts

A Bali court sentenced Swiss tourist Luzian Andrin Zgraggen to one year in prison for Instagram videos filmed outdoors during Nyepi, Bali's Hindu Day of Silence, with profane commentary authorities called an insult to tradition. He apologized at trial. Such custodial terms for foreign tourists convicted of religious insult are uncommon in Indonesia, raising the stakes for visitor behavior online.
