Three founders of Hong Kong's pro-democracy protest movement
called Tuesday for an end to street demonstrations to prevent more violence and
take the campaign to a new stage, but it wasn't clear whether student
protesters, who make up the bulk of the activists, would heed the call.
Professors Benny Tai Yiu-ting and Chan Kin-man and Pastor
Chu Yiu-ming said they planned to surrender to police on Wednesday to take
responsibility for protests that have shut down parts of the Asian financial
center for more than two months.
Instead of street protests, the three said they hope to
continue the campaign through networking among civic groups, community
organizing and education in democracy and human rights
