Opposition leader Sam Rainsy is scheduled to return to Phnom Penh tonight where he could face arrest and a two-year prison sentence over a defamation case dating back to 2008, his party said yesterday.

Eng Chhay Eang, a spokesman of the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party, said yesterday evening that Rainsy – who has been visiting supporters in South Korea – will arrive at Phnom Penh International Airport at around 10:30pm on a Korean Air flight.

According to the airport’s arrival schedule, the flight is due to land at 10:20pm. Chhay Eang said that when he touches down, Rainsy plans to ask authorities not to arrest him but to let him negotiate with Interior Minister Sar Kheng.
