HK protest leaders turn themselves in to police

HONG KONG: The original founders of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy Occupy movement surrendered to police on Wednesday in a symbolic move as they seek to take the protests off the streets after more than two months of rallies punctuated by violence.

Dozens of supporters carrying yellow umbrellas, which have become a symbol of the movement, and shouting “I want true democracy without fear” surrounded the trio as they turned themselves in at a central police station.
