Kenji Nagai, the Japanese photojournalist known for his work notably in Iraq 2003, Palestine 2006 and Myanmar 2007, was shot and killed by state military forces on the streets of Yangon seven years ago tomorrow – September 27, 2007. He was 50. Lying wounded on the ground, he continued to take photos with a camera that has never been released by the Myanmar authorities – last year the Irrawaddy carried a story about this. In Burma VJ, it’s hard to tell whether footage of a man gunned down close to Traders Hotel near Sule captures Nagai’s death. The narration is not clear, and cross-checking with other videos available on YouTube does not sort things out either. In 2009, the Burma Media Association established the Kenji Nagai Award to acknowledge individuals who have reported the truth about Myanmar.
