BANGKOK, April 14 (Xinhua) -- Core leaders of a pro-Thaksin movement have surrendered to police, TV reported Tuesday.

Veera Musigapong and Suporn Atthawong, leaders of the United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), led other leaders to surrender to Bangkok Metropolitan Police head office around 11:18 a.m. local time, The Nation news website said.

They walked in line, heading to the Metropolitan Police head office but they had to stop shortly because some guards and demonstrators were angry and did not want them to surrender.
