Cambodian PM accuses opposition chief of treachery

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen accused opposition leader Sam Rainsy of treachery Wednesday for disputing the government's position on a border dispute with Vietnam.
Hun Sen said while speaking to students Wednesday in Phnom Penh that government legal experts were preparing to file a lawsuit against Sam Rainsy for challenging whether the border is incorrectly marked to Cambodia's disadvantage. He did not make clear what the charge might be.
Hun Sen referred only to the opposition leader, not to Sam Rainsy by name. Sam Rainsy is living in exile in Paris and was sentenced in absentia by a Cambodian court last month to two years imprisonment for a political protest in which border markers on the frontier with Vietnam were uprooted.
