DENPASAR, Indonesia: A Russian tourist has been deported from Bali after posting a photograph of himself half-naked atop a sacred mountain, officials on the Indonesian resort island said on Wednesday.

The palm-fringed hotspot has vowed a crackdown on misbehaving tourists after a spate of incidents that included acts of disrespect to the predominantly Hindu island's culture.
