A woman has been sentenced to two years in prison over a viral TikTok video she filmed herself eating pork while traveling in Bali, Indonesia.

Lina Lutfiawati, who goes by the name Lina Mukherjee, had recited an Islamic phrase before eating crispy pork skin on camera.

Eating pork is strictly forbidden in Islam and Islam is the dominant religion in Indonesia.

The 33-year-old, who identifies as Muslim, has more than 2 million followers on the social media platform.

Mukherjee said she tried pork out of curiosity, according to the BBC, which also reported she was traveling in Bali at the time the video was filmed.

While Indonesia is a Muslim-majority country, the majority of the population on the popular holiday island of Bali identify as Hindu.

In the video Mukherjee can be heard saying “Bismillah,” which means “in the name of God” in Arabic.

Classic, Candace couldn’t stop laughing.

Oops...should read “didn't know that pork was haram”.

One of the truly great SNL skits...particularly when Candice Bergen blew her line. And BTW...she was damn hot back then.

I had a Jewish friend, a Cohen, no less, who often got crease burns whilst frying bacon.

God said “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.” so I’m going with His Word.

What pathetic people to allow themselves to be conquered by Muslim armies. Tens of millions of Indians were killed, but thank God they managed to resist.

Now we just “get woke” and vote them into office

[Boogieman]

But after God cleansed them, I swear I saw the pigs jump right back into that mud puddle.

It’s hard to imagine that SNL didn’t always suck.

This is why we have power washers.

Who does she think she is? An entitled strong independent U.S. female?

[LittleBillyInfidel]

Ha ha! That was great! Thank you!

[Magnum44]

Its not her fault. In the end, we are all slaves to bacon.

Well, did she like it?

SNL used to be hilarious. That aired in 1976.

I’ll give her some sympathy. 2 years in prison for eating haram on video? That’s a theocracy, not a democracy.

Indonesia is not free.
