Cambodia charges foreigners with making pornographic images

Prosecutors in Cambodia have charged 10 foreigners, including five Britons, with producing pornographic images after raiding a villa in Siem Reap. They were arrested on Thursday after images emerged of people apparently imitating sexual positions at a party in the north-western town. If convicted, they face up to a year in prison.

Two Canadians held in Cambodia for 'dancing pornographically'

A police release included photos of multiple clothed men and women straddling one another on the floor, some in sexually suggestive positions. Those photos are said to have been shared on social media prior to the arrests.

[...] [Joshua Kurlantzick, a senior fellow with the U.S.-based Council on Foreign Relations think tank,] said the Cambodian government is grappling with pressure to enforce more conservative values, an agenda that is at odds with the country's party-oriented reputation among young western travellers. Foreigners dressed in skimpy clothing while visiting religious and historical monuments have been one source of tension. "Cambodian officials have been a little frustrated," Kurlantzick said. "Partly through their own fault, they allowed a certain very seedy sex tourism culture to take place in (the capital) Phnom Penh."

He said that while the arrests are "pretty unusual," travellers should be aware that the Cambodian government is increasingly lashing out against all types of foreign influence, including boisterous tourists. "The overall environment in Cambodia has just become much more repressed over the last year," Kurlantzick said. "The country is potentially something of a tinder box because of that."

    So you been to school
    For a year or two
    And you know you've seen it all
    In daddy's car
    Thinkin' you'll go far
    Back east your type don't crawl

    Play ethnicky jazz
    To parade your snazz
    On your five-grand stereo
    Braggin' that you know
    How the niggers feel cold
    And the slums got so much soul

    It's time to taste what you most fear
    Right Guard will not help you here
    Brace yourself, my dear...
    Brace yourself, my dear...

    It's a holiday in Cambodia
    It's tough, kid, but it's life
    It's a holiday in Cambodia
    Don't forget to pack a wife

    You're a star-belly sneetch
    You suck like a leech
    You want everyone to act like you
    Kiss ass while you bitch
    So you can get rich
    But your boss gets richer off you

    Well you'll work harder
    With a gun in your back
    For a bowl of rice a day
    Slave for soldiers
    Till you starve
    Then your head is skewered on a stake

    Now you can go where people are one
    Now you can go where they get things done
    What you need, my son...
    What you need, my son...

    Is a holiday in Cambodia
    Where people dress in black
    A holiday in Cambodia
    Where you'll kiss ass or crack
    Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot
    Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot...
    And it's a holiday in Cambodia
    Where you'll do what you're told
    A holiday in Cambodia
    Where the slums got so much soul
    Pol Pot!

    Excellent, thanks, I was about to do the same.

    Saw the boys do it live several times back in the day.

    Before the infighting over money ruined it all.

    Really Punk of them.
