The Phnom Penh Municipal Court on Tuesday afternoon sentenced accused Thai spy Sivarak Chutipong to seven years in prison and a fine of 10 million riel, about 80,000 baht.

Sivarak's mother Simarak Na Nakhon Phanom is deciding whether her son's lawyer will appeal or not.

Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya's secretary Chavanond Intarakomalyasut said if no appeal was filed, the government would seek a royal pardon for him immediately.
