Bali Cooks Swiss Tourist, Sends Him To 1 Year In Jail: How He Disrespected Hindu Tradition
A Swiss tourist in Bali learned a hard lesson when he was sentenced to one year in jail for his Hinduphobia, after he insulted a sacred Hindu tradition in Indonesia. The 26-year-old tourist named Luzian Andrin Zgraggen was punished by a Denpasar District Court for violating Indonesia’s new criminal code by insulting a local Hindu tradition.
As per reports, Luzian made a social media post disrespecting the Nyepi or ‘Day of Silence’, which is the Balinese Hindu New Year. He also deliberately violated the curfew observed by locals on the day. He did so despite being informed by the staff of the hotel he was staying in about the local restrictions. This year, Nyepi was observed on 19th March and Luzian was arrested in the same month after his derogatory acts sparked widespread outrage.
