Hundreds of people have attended the funeral of a Japanese journalist killed during protests in Burma.

Kenji Nagai, 50, who was shot as he filmed demonstrations in Rangoon on 27 September, was buried in Tokyo.

Burmese authorities said he was hit by a stray bullet, but Japanese officials believe he was shot by the security forces from close range.

The military government's violent crackdown on the pro-democracy protests sparked international condemnation.
