A Cambodian court has kicked seven Westerners out of the country, weeks after they were accused of “singing and dancing pornographically” at a party near the country’s famed Angkor Wat temple complex. Three of the people jailed during the mass arrest last month remain in custody, although all 10 have offered the same defense: That they were wearing “sexy” clothing and dancing at a party, but were not nude or producing pornography, as authorities have alleged. The case represents the latest clash between young foreigners who say they were blindsided by morality police and Cambodian officials who have been cracking down in recent years on Westerners they say are failing to respect the country’s mores and sacred spaces. The singing and dancing in question happened at a popular pool party event in January called Let’s Get Wet, according to the Telegraph.
