BANGKOK, April 29 (AP): A video camera that had been missing for more than 15 years after it was dropped by a Japanese journalist who was fatally shot during a street protest in Myanmar was handed over this week to his sister at a ceremony in Bangkok.

Kenji Nagai was recording the demonstration on Sept. 27, 2007, in downtown Yangon -- part of a peaceful anti-military uprising known as the Saffron Revolution -- when soldiers arrived, dispersing the crowd with gunfire.
