On the 27th, 14 years after Kenji Nagai, a journalist from Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture, was shot dead during an interview in Myanmar, the bereaved family visited Mr. Nagai's grave and joined hands.
Kenji Nagai, a native of Imabari, died on September 27, 2007 in Yangon, Myanmar, after being shot by security forces during a large-scale demonstration protesting the military government.
It has been 14 years since Nagai died 27 days ago, and his sister Noriko Ogawa visited the reien in Imabari City, handed flowers in front of the grave, and joined hands.
The Myanmar government has explained that Mr. Nagai's death was an accidental accident, but the truth is unknown due to eyewitness testimony that he was "sniped."
Also, since the coup d'etat in February, more than 1,000 civilians have been killed in the crackdown by the military in Myanmar, making it even more difficult to find out the truth.
Noriko said, "When I saw the news that people were injured in the coup d'etat, I remembered my brother and got angry. I will continue to ask the Japanese government to investigate the truth and return the leftovers, and Myanmar can regain peace. I want you to work on it. "
