THE original founders of Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement tearfully announced on Tuesday they would "surrender" by turning themselves in to police and urged protesters on the streets to retreat. The announcement came after hundreds of pro-democracy protesters clashed with police late on Sunday, leaving dozens injured in one of the worst nights of violence since rallies began more than two months ago.
"As we prepare to surrender, we three urge the students to retreat - to put down deep roots in the community and transform the movement," said Occupy Central leader Benny Tai.
