A court in Cambodia has sentenced the exiled opposition leader, Sam Rainsy, in absentia to ten years in prison over a border dispute involving Vietnam. The former Cambodian finance minister has also been fined for apparently forging public documents and spreading disinformation. But Sam Rainsy says Vietnam has been using its influence over Cambodia to move border posts further and further into his country. And he also claims farmers in the border region have lost valuable land and says that he has maps - that have been independently verified - to prove it.
