Journalist Kenji Nagai was shot dead by security forces in September 2007 while covering a large-scale demonstration against the military regime in Yangon, Myanmar's largest city. The video camera he was filming at the time of the shooting was subsequently unknown.
It was returned to the bereaved family in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, on the 9th because the Myanmar media had obtained a camera believed to belong to Mr. Nagai. The camera had about five minutes of footage of civilians and monks protesting.
