Unseen footage from slain Japanese journalist's camera surfaces after 15 years in Myanmar

The final video recorded by Japanese journalist Kenji Nagai, who was killed during street protests in Myanmar 15 years ago, has emerged. Nagai was fatally shot as soldiers fired on demonstrators gathered in Yangon to protest the military junta. The video was apparently taken by Nagai just moments before he was fatally shot. The reemergence of his footage comes as Myanmar is once again living in the shadow of military rule, after a short interregnum under civilian government.

"Long-lost camera reveals slain Japanese journalist's final moments in Myanmar"

The camera of Japanese journalist Kenji Nagai, who was fatally shot during a protest in Myanmar in 2007, has resurfaced after 15 years and was handed over to his sister at a ceremony in Bangkok. The camera still had the original tape inside it, which was screened at the event. Nagai's sister hopes an analysis of the tape will disprove the Myanmar government's claim that he had not been deliberately targeted. The handover of the camera comes as Myanmar is in the grip of upheaval far worse than that of 2007, with a widespread, determined armed resistance in response to the military's overthrow of Aung San Suu Kyi's elected government in 2021.

"Long-lost camera reveals slain Japanese journalist's final moments in Myanmar"

A video camera belonging to Japanese journalist Kenji Nagai, who was fatally shot during a street protest in Myanmar in 2007, has been handed over to his sister after being missing for over 15 years. The camera was found with the original tape inside it and its contents were screened at the handover ceremony. The images showed protesters and monks in the street close to Yangon’s ancient Sule Pagoda, singing and chanting, with police blocking their way. Nagai’s sister hopes an analysis of the tape will disprove the Myanmar government’s claim that he had not been deliberately targeted.
