Red shirts say no protest end in sight

The protesters say it's a symbolic sacrifice after the government rejected calls for elections.
Abhisit has been away from home, working at an army base since the protest started on Friday.
The Deputy Prime Minister says the administration is ready for talks with Red Shirt leaders. He adds that dissolving parliament is not a solution to the country's political conflict.
Suthep Thagsuban, Thai Deputy Prime Minister, said, "To have new elections, the new government won't be able to last long before being forced to leave by more protests. This will be non-stop."
Meanwhile, 60 senators signed a motion on Wednesday seeking a general debate to explore ways of solving the ongoing crisis. Abhisit will be invited to attend the session.
Security has been tight around Bangkok, with 50-thousand riot police and soldiers on standby to prevent violence.
