The Cambodian government has issued an arrest warrant against opposition leader Sam Rainsy for failing to appear in court over a border dispute.
Mr Rainsy is alleged to have encouraged villagers to uproot markers on the frontier with Vietnam in October 2009.
Mr Rainsy has claimed that Vietnam is encroaching on Cambodian territory, a highly sensitive issue.
The Cambodia's parliament stripped opposition leader Sam Rainsy of his immunity from prosecution in November.
"The arrest warrant for Sam Rainsy was issued on Tuesday by Svay Rieng provincial court," Sam Rainsy's lawyer Choung Chou Ngy told AFP.
