***Wartawan asing mati bertugas di Irak, pemerintah Irak tidak dituntut bertanggung jawab. Kenapa pemerintah Jepang mau pemerintah Myanmar bertanggung jawab atas kematian wartawan Nagai di Yangon ? Mentang2 Jepang negara donor ? ***'The fact that the Japanese journalist was among the protesters amounts to inviting danger,' it said, adding that Mr Nagai had entered Myanmar on a tourist visa. Japanese newsman to blame for his own death: Myanmar paper Mon, Oct 15, 2007 The Straits Times YANGON - MYANMAR'S state-controlled media said yesterday that the Japanese journalist killed during a crackdown on recent protests was to blame for his own death because he put himself in harm's way. Mr Kenji Nagai, 50, a video journalist for Japan's APF News agency, was among at least 10 people killed in the Sept 26-27 crackdown when soldiers fired automatic weapons into a crowd of pro-democracy demonstrators. 'This was an accident. The journalist was not deliberately targeted,' said an editorial in The New Light of Myanmar newspaper. 'The fact that the Japanese journalist was among the protesters amounts to inviting danger,' it said, adding that Mr Nagai had entered Myanmar on a tourist visa. 'He should have come in with a journalist visa, since he was a journalist,' it said. 'If he had behaved like a tourist he would not have faced this tragic end.' Myanmar is believed to have rejected all visa applications from journalists during the pro-democracy protests. Video footage of Mr Nagai's death, broadcast around the world, appeared to show a soldier shooting the journalist at close range. Japanese police say Mr Nagai is believed to have died from blood loss caused by at least one bullet penetrating his kidney. Meanwhile, Myanmar's ruling junta has relaxed a curfew in the main city Yangon and apparently lifted a block on Internet access, further easing restrictions put in place during mass protests, residents said yesterday. Trucks, with loudspeakers mounted on them, were driven through the city late on Saturday to announce that the curfew would now run for four hours from 11pm to 3am, down from the previous six hours a night. Internet users yesterday also reported that their connections, severed at the height of anti-junta protests last month, had been up and running again since late Saturday. 'We got 24-hour Internet back yesterday evening,' said an Internet cafe owner in Yangon. 'Now we are opening our cafe for our clients. There are many people who want to use the Internet.' The country's senior government and junta figures were joined yesterday by foreign diplomats at a state funeral for prime minister Soe Win, a hardliner, who died last Friday at age 59. Senior government and military figures stood by as soldiers fired five shots into the air before General Soe Win's body was cremated. Ambassadors from most of the foreign embassies were among about 1,000 people who attended the funeral.
