A court in Cambodia has ordered the arrest of an opposition leader after he failed to appear in court on charges relating to the contested eastern border with Vietnam.
The arrest warrant for Sam Rainsy, the leader of the country's main opposition party was issued after he missed his court hearing earlier this week.
Sam Rainsy, who is currently in France, had been charged with racial incitement and destruction of property.
Those charges followed an incident in October when the veteran politician removed several wooden border posts marking the boundary between Cambodia and Vietnam.
