Hong Kong protest leaders set to surrender

Three of the founders of Hong Kong’s protest movement have called for an end to street demonstrations to prevent further violence and to take the campaign for democratic reforms to a new stage.

Professors Benny Tai Yiu-ting and Chan Kin-man and Pastor Chu Yiu-ming said they plan to surrender to police tomorrow to take responsibility for protests that have shut down parts of the Asian financial centre for more than two months.
