READING:
A tourist has been given a one-year jail sentence in Bali. His crime was saying bad things about a Hindu festival called the Day of Silence. It is a special time for Hindus. On this day, people must stay at home to fast and meditate. The 26-year-old tourist broke the rules by going outside. He filmed himself walking and using bad language. He said the silence was "crazy". He was arrested because his video made Balinese people angry.
The Day of Silence is hundreds of years old. People in Bali try to be quiet for one day. They do not work or play. Bali's airport shuts down and people have less access to the internet. Traditional Balinese security officers can go outside. They make sure people are indoors. The tourist said he did not understand how important the festival was. He did not mean to hurt people. He was very regretful for what he did.
