How the Japanese Journalist was Killed

Before junta switched off entire Internet system in Burma, phtos of junta soldiers’ shooting and beating on peaceful demonstrators were spread widely all over the world within minutes of the incidents. So junta ordered its soldiers to kill any civilian journalist taking photos of soldiers shooting at deonstrators.
On the fateful day, as the late Japanese journalist Mr. Kenji Nagai wearing just an old shirt and short-pant was taking photo graphs from the edge of a big crowd of demonstrators, he unfortunately looked very much like a fair-skined Buremse, or a Burmese with Chinese mixed blood.

When soldiers started to shoot, he was pushed over by the crowd, and fell on the road. A soldier saw him holding a camera, and shot at him point-blank directly.

Once he had killed Mr. Nagai, the soldier went ahead to chase after a new victim.
