Denpasar, Indonesia: A Russian influencer and her husband will be deported from Bali after a naked photo shoot in a sacred tree that violates local culture, said officials on the Indonesian holiday island on Friday.
Alina Fazleeva, who has thousands of followers on Instagram, poses naked in a 700 -year -old banyan tree in a temple in the Tabanan district.

The photo, taken by her husband Andrey Fazleev, was uploaded to Instagram and became viral, an annoying Bali community.

Mountains, trees, and other natural features are considered sacred in Balinese Hindu culture, because they are considered as homes of gods.

“Both of them have been proven to have carried out activities that endanger public order and do not respect local norms,” ​​Head of Bali Immigration Jamaruli Manihuruk told reporters Friday.

“So, they will be approved by deportation.”

Husband and wife will be banned from Indonesia for at least six months, and must also participate in cleaning ceremonies in the holy area in accordance with local beliefs, he added.

Alina Fazleeva apologized on her Instagram account in English and Indonesian, acknowledged that she “made a big mistake”.

“There are many sacred places in Bali and not all of them have signs of information about it, as in my case,” he said.

“And, it is very important to treat this place and tradition with respect”.

Bali Governor Wayan Koster said his government would no longer tolerate rude tourists.
