BANGKOK — The leader of Thailand’s anti-government protests says he met with the prime minister, but only to restate his demand that her government be replaced.

Suthep insisted to his supporters that the talk did not constitute negotiations. The protesters had dubbed Sunday “victory day,” but failed to attain their stated goal of taking over the prime minister’s offices, despite engaging in pitched street battles.
