A
Russian man will be deported from Indonesia after posing with his pants around his ankles on top of Mount Agung, Bali’s highest mountain.
The visa-on-arrival holder, identified only as Yuri, will also be placed on a blacklist that prevents him from returning to the country for at least the next six months.
“He violated norms and showed no respect for our culture,” Bali Law and Human Rights Office head Anggiat Napitupulu told The Jakarta Post on Tuesday.
A photo of the foreigner posing partially naked on Mount Agung went viral on social media last week.
Anggiat said Yuri had expressed remorse but that he would still be penalized.
“It is a general norm that this should not be done in any place, in any country. There is no excuse,” Anggiat said.
