BANGKOK: Plans by self-exiled leaders of Cambodia’s banned opposition party to return to their homeland hit a major roadblock when Thailand’s prime minister said their top leader would not be allowed in to make his way through the country to the Cambodian border.
Leaders of the Cambodia National Rescue Party have vowed to return home on Saturday despite efforts by their government to thwart them.
They are led by party co-founder Sam Rainsy (pic), who has been in exile since 2015 to avoid serving a prison term on charges that he says are politically motivated.
