OPPOSITION leader Sam Rainsy has announced that he will file complaints with foreign institutions accusing neighbouring countries of violating international law by encroaching into Cambodian territory.
Sam Rainsy came under fire from Cambodian and Vietnamese officials for uprooting border posts in Svay Rieng province during a Buddhist ceremony on October 25. Villagers claimed the Vietnamese had illegally shifted the posts onto Cambodian soil.
Speaking from Paris, he said his personal act of defiance was meant to bring the alleged Vietnamese incursions to light.
"I have now collected enough documents and witnesses to show that neighbouring countries are violating Khmers' land," he said.
