PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP): Cambodia has turned down a request from Thailand to arrest former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who last year was sentenced in absentia by a Thai court to two years imprisonment for violating a conflict of interest law.
A statement from Cambodia's Foreign Affairs Ministry on Wednesday said the request to detain Thaksin for extradition would not be honored because the legal case against him was politically motivated, and therefore not covered by the countries' extradition treaty.
Thaksin lives in self-imposed exile. He is visiting Cambodia to give a lecture after his appointment last week as an adviser on economic affairs to the Phnom Penh government. His appointment has strained relations between Cambodia and Thailand.

Don't the Thai know, the extradition is no value any more because the diplomacy is closed...
If Abhullshit is not being the GREED or not overreacting there shouldn't be a problem.
There was a former Pervian president name Fuji Alberto Mori which he is Japanese descent was charged with corruption and killing he escaped to Japan and Peru request the Japan to send him back to Peru and Japan declined the request. Peru had extradition with the two countries and Japan ignore that.
Hahaaa....Thailand can you look at this prime example????
If Thailand can shouw its respect to Cambodia in the past maybe Cambodia can listen to Thailand, but all Thailand can do to Cambodia is insulting, so dream on Thailand.
