ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
Leaders of Hong Kong's Occupy Central movement surrendered to police on Wednesday (December 3) for their role in democracy protests that the government has labelled illegal.
Hong Kong occupy leaders Chan Kin Man, Benny Tai, and reverend Chu Yiu Min turned themselves in a day after calling pro-democracy activists to retreat from the city centre over fears of violence, just hours after a student leader had called on supporters to regroup, highlighting the split over tactics since the demonstrations started in late September.
"Actually what we have done after we had entered the station, we provided our personal information to the police officer. And after they check our ID card number, we have been taken into a room, we have taken down our personal information again, and they especially designed a form with a list of offences we might have committed. And we were asked to indicate which kind of offences we came to report," Tai said.
