A Russian tourist, identified only as Yuri, shared a picture of himself naked from the waist down at Mount Agung, a sacred place for locals and the highest point on Bali.
A Russian tourist who took a semi-nude photo at a sacred Bali site may be deported after the picture went viral online. The tourist, identified only by his first name, Yuri, shared a picture of himself naked from the waist down at Mount Agung, the highest point on the Indonesian island. Ni Luh Djelantik, a politician and businesswoman from Bali, told CNN that she had mediated a reconciliation between Yuri, Russian tourists and the local people around Mount Agung.
Yuri’s case is now being handled by the Bali director general of immigration and he is required to report every day to the Bali Immigration Office. No final decision has been made on whether he will be deported from the island or permitted to stay following the ceremony. Of late, Bali’s government has made moves to crack down on foreign tourists whose behavior runs afoul of local customs. On March 12, the tourism board posted an English-language advisory for visitors.
