How to remove leaches from aquatic turtle?

I live in Thailand and my son found a aquatic box turtle and we want to keep it in our garden pond. It is riddled in leaches all on its underside maybe as many as 20 plus how can we remove them without hurting the turtle ?
Answers:
You can remove them manually, or sprinkle a little table salt on the leeches they will let go.I don't know how to get them out of the pond though.if you putt him back in after removal he will just get more
put salt or baking soda on the leach
