The sister of a Japanese journalist who was killed in Myanmar has visited his grave with a camera that was recently returned to his family.
Nagai Kenji was fatally shot in Yangon in September 2007 while covering a protest against the military regime.
A media outlet in Myanmar returned the video camera to his sister, Ogawa Noriko, on Wednesday.
On Sunday, Ogawa brought the camera to Nagai's grave in his hometown of Imabari, Ehime Prefecture, western Japan.
She placed it in front of the grave and offered a prayer, telling her brother it had been returned after more than 15 years.
Images recovered from the camera show demonstrators and Nagai describing the scene, moments before he was shot by security forces.
Ogawa says she will have the video analyzed by police and experts to find out what actually happened.
She said Nagai must be concerned about the suffering of people in Myanmar, and she hopes the video will help to make sure they are not forgotten.
