Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has turned down an ultimatum to stand down by tens of thousands of protesters as they marched on a military barracks sheltering members of his  government. The demonstrators demanded Abhisit call new elections or face a mounting wave of protests. Authorities have deployed a 50,000-strong security force including soldiers and riot police across the capital Bangkok and are considering a citywide state of emergency.
