Cambodian opposition leader deported by Thailand at Hun Sen regime’s request

One of the most senior members of Cambodia’s banned opposition party has been deported from Thailand, following a request from Hun Sen’s government.

Mu Sochua, the exiled vice president of the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), arrived in Bangkok on Sunday afternoon on a flight from Kuala Lumpur.

But as soon as Mu landed Thai authorities apprehended her on the ground in Bangkok and in a matter of hours the politician and award-winning human rights activist was back on a plane to the Malaysian capital.
