A video camera that had been missing for more than 15 years after it was dropped by a Japanese journalist who was fatally shot during a 2007 uprising in Myanmar has been handed over to his sister at a ceremony in Bangkok, and its final images released.
Kenji Nagai was in Yangon recording the protests led by Buddhist monks on September 27, 2007 – part of a peaceful uprising against decades of military rule known as the Saffron Revolution – when soldiers arrived and fired on the crowd. The 50-year-old journalist, who was working for Japan’s APF News, a small video and photo agency, was hit and fatally wounded. He was one of approximately 10 people killed that day.
