A Phnom Penh court has issued a court warrant for the arrest of Sam Rainsy (pictured), leader of the opposition Sam Rainsy Party, in relations to charges of document forgery when he produced maps and documents showing Vietnam's encroachments of Cambodian borders.

Now, Mr. Rainsy is living in exile in Paris and there reports that court will send an arrest warrant to the French Embassy seeking his arrest. However, Mrs. Laurence Bernardi , a spokeswoman for the French Embassy, said that the Embassy has not yet received the warrant.

On 27th January, the Phnom Penh court covicted him of sabotage and destruction of public properties and sentenced him to 2 years jail. Soon after, he released a series of documents and maps alleging Vietnam's encroachments but the Cambodian authority said he faked the maps and the documents and charged him with forgery.
