Thai Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat refused to step down after the army's commander suggested he resign over deadly force employed by police to suppress an anti-government protest.
Thousands of anti-government protesters marched through Bangkok's business district early Friday, holding up posters with photos of Somchai and the police chief and calling them murders.
Gen. Anupong Paochinda said a television interview Thursday if he were in the prime minister's place he would step aside to take responsibility for violence on Oct. 7 that left one woman dead and more than 400 other people injured.
While the general discounted the possibility of a military coup, it was unclear whether other senior officers shared his views.
