Yim Srang, a court spokesman in the northwestern province of Siem Reap, said the court decided that the seven – who were freed on bail last week – could no longer stay in Cambodia.
Ten young Westerners – five from Britain, two from Canada, and one each from Norway, the Netherlands and New Zealand – were detained when police raided a commercially organised party at a rented villa in Siem Reap town and found people dancing by a swimming pool at an event described as a pub crawl. Siem Reap is near the famous Angkor Wat temple complex. Three of the 10 considered organisers of the event were denied bail.
Police said those caught in the raid had been “dancing pornographically” and offended Cambodian standards of morality. Offenders face a year in jail if convicted of posting allegedly pornographic photos.
