TOKYO: Japan will urge Myanmar to punish those who are responsible for shooting dead a Japanese journalist in a bloody crackdown on anti-government protests, newspapers said on Saturday.
Kenji Nagai, 50, a video-journalist for Tokyo-based APF News, with years of experience covering world hotspots, was the first foreigner killed, when the government sent troops to quell protest in Yangon on Thursday.
Japan's Deputy Foreign Minister Mitoji Yabunaka is scheduled to visit Myanmar on Sunday to deliver the demand to the military government, the Yomiuri Shimbun said, quoting government sources.
