The Foreign Ministry is ready to file an appeal or seek a royal pardon for convicted Thai spy Sivarak Chutipong, but it is up to his family to decide, Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya said on Wednesday.
The Phnom Penh Municipal Court on Tuesday sentenced Mr Sivarak to seven years in prison and a fine of 10 million riel, about 82,000 baht, on a charge of spying.
Sivarak, 31, an employee of Thai-owned Cambodia Air Traffic Services (CATS), was arrested on Nov 12 on charges of stealing state secrets, the flight information of fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra when he visited Phnom Pehn, and giving the information to a Thai diplomat.
