Phnom Penh - A Cambodian court on Thursday jailed the leader of the main opposition party for 10 years in absentia and issued an arrest warrant after he charged Vietnam with encroaching on Cambodian territory.
The municipal court also handed down a fine of 16,250 dollars to Sam Rainsy, who heads the Sam Rainsy Party, after convicting him of disinformation and falsifying public documents.
The government's case stemmed from a press conference this year when Sam Rainsy showed maps that he claimed showed the neighbouring country was appropriating Cambodian land.
The two nations are demarcating their 1,270-kilometre common border in an exercise that is due to run until 2012.
