Man learns casino losses not deductible
HERISAU, Switzerland, May 28 (UPI) -- A Swiss man fined for hiking naked under a public order law introduced last year in the canton of Appenzell is appealing against the law.
The hiker, who was not identified by authorities, was fined after witnesses said he hiked nude past a communal barbecuing area and a Christian care home in the region, which passed the public order law last year after it became a popular destination for nude hikers, the BBC reported Friday.
The man is appealing the fine under a Swiss federal law stating public nudity is not a crime.
Appenzell is traditionally a conservative region, where women have only had the right to vote since 1990.
