Supaporn Mitarak, Wassana Busdee, Nattatida Meewangpla, Wasu Iam-laor and Somchai Apinanthaworn were acquitted of all charges that included running an illegal secret organisation, conspiracy to commit terrorism and hiring others to kill.

Surapol Iam-suwan was acquitted of all charges except running an illegal secret organisation, which he admitted. The court sentenced him to four years in prison.
