Yomiuri Sent A Protest Letter to SLORC Embassy
Yomiuri On-line Shimbun , December 9, 1996.

        The Yomiuri Shimbun on Saturday sent a letter of protest to the 
Myanmar government about the recent beating and detention of a Yomiuri 
Shimbun correspondent and the newspaper's  Myanmar assistant while 
covering student demonstrations in Yangon.

           Foreign Editor Ryuji Nakazono sent the letter to Myanmar's 
information minister via the Myanmar Embassy in Tokyo. It urged the 
government to ensure Yomiuri staff did not suffer similar violence in the 
future.
