Photograph: Cambodia Expats OnlineA group of 10 foreigners, including five Britons, charged with producing pornographic pictures and material in Cambodia offended local standards of morality but they should be deported rather than jailed, their lawyer has said. They have claimed they are innocent and one of the arrested said that none of those detained was in the offending pictures. He said that, according to the law, they should be deported or have their visas cancelled but should not be held in pretrial detention. Cambodia authorities have clamped down on visitors posting revealing images of themselves at temple sites in recent years.
