The Cambodian court's sentence imposed on yellow-shirt activist Veera Somkwamkid and his secretary Ratree Pipatanapaiboon was harsh but all sides must accept it, Deputy Prime Minister overseeing security Suthep Thaugsuban said on Wednesday morning.
Mr Suthep said he did not want to criticise the Phnom Penh Municipal Court's ruling yesterday.
"The case is not yet over and they [Mr Veera and Ms Ratree] can still file an appeal.
"All sides have to respect the verdict and refrain from inciting conflict between the two countries," he said.
The pair and their families will decide whether they would seek a royal pardon when the case is final, he said.
