Yellow-shirt supporters of the Thai Patriots Network insisted on Saturday that they would continue rallying at Government House even though the five Thais were freed by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court yesterday, reports said.
“We will keep on protesting until the remaining two Thais are released”, a network core leader said on the rally stage.
The court on Friday afternoon gave each of the five Thais, including Democrat MP Panich Vikitsreth, a suspended jail term as they were found guilty on two counts of trespassing on Cambodia territory and illegal entry into military area.
The verdict has not yet been passes on the cases of Veera Somkwamkid, a coordinator of the network, and his secretary Ratree Pipatanapaibul.
They both face allegations that they spied on Cambodian military affairs and have been charged with espionage.
Mr Veera has been denied bail and remains at Prey Sar prison.
Ms Ratree was granted a bail and is staying at the Thai embassy in Phnom Penh.
Army of reporters are now waiting at Suvarnabhumi airport to report the return of the five Thais after they were jailed in the neighbouring country's prison alomost one month.
