Thai Reds rule out negotiations with govt

---

BANGKOK, Apr 21 (AFP): Thai protesters Wednesday ruled out negotiations with the government despite fears of a looming crackdown, saying talks were 'out of the question' after bloody clashes earlier this month.
The anti-government campaigners have said they are braced for security forces to clear their encampment in the heart of
Bangkok's retail district, and shut down four weeks of rolling
demonstrations.
Jatuporn Prompan, a core leader of the red-shirted campaigners who are pushing for fresh elections to replace a government they say is illegitimate, said negotiations were impossible after the clashes that left 25 dead.
