Cambodian opposition lawmaker Mu Sochua (R) of the Sam Rainsy Party is greeted by Rong Chhun, president of the Cambodian Teachers Independence Association, after a news conference at the party headquarters in Phnom Penh July 15, 2010. Mu Sochua told journalists that she will not pay the fine and compensation of about $4000, that has been ordered by the court, to Prime Minister Hun Sen after being convicted of defaming the premier. She said she is willing to serve time in prison, accusing the judiciary system of being not independent, but a political tool wielded by Hun Sen's ruling party. Her deadline to pay will end today, making the arrest likely to happen today or tomorrow. REUTERS/Chor Sokunthea
