BANGKOK - An exiled Cambodian opposition leader was denied entry into Thailand on the weekend, ahead of her planned return to Cambodia early next month, a rights group told Reuters on Wednesday .
She"was stopped at Thai Immigration for several hours, and finally denied access to Thailand", the rights group said, adding that she was allowed to book a flight to return to the country she had come from. CNRP founder Sam Rainsy fled to France four years ago, following a conviction for criminal defamation in which he was ordered to pay US$1 million in compensation. He also faces a five-year prison sentence in a separate case.
