TikToker imprisoned for pork video after reciting Islamic phrase

Influencer Lina Lutfiawati, also known as Lina Mukherjee, has been sentenced to two years in prison and fined $25,200 for filming herself eating pork and uttering an Islamic phrase in a viral TikTok video while traveling in Bali, Indonesia. Eating pork is strictly forbidden in Islam, the dominant religion in Indonesia. Mukherjee, who identifies as Muslim, was found guilty of spreading information aimed at inciting hatred against religious individuals and specific groups. Her actions were condemned by conservative groups, and failure to pay the fine could extend her jail term by three months. This case is the latest in a series of blasphemy cases in Indonesia.
