JAKARTA: A Russian woman who posted a nude photo of herself in front of a sacred tree has been deported from Bali, an official said Monday , the latest incident involving indelicate tourist acts on the Indonesian resort island.
The 40-year-old woman, identified as Luiza Kosykh, left Bali's Denpasar on a late Sunday flight to Moscow, Bali legal and human rights agency official I Nengah Sukadana told AFP, just days after she was nabbed by immigration officials. Kosykh was arrested last Wednesday after her nude photo in front of the 700-year-old banyan went viral, angering local Hindus who revere the tree as sacred.
She claimed the nude photograph was taken a few years ago and that she did not know the tree was considered sacred. The Russian, who claims to be a property investor, entered Bali in January using a temporary-stay visa which would have been valid until December of next year.
