TOKYO, Oct 12 (Reuters) - A Myanmar court sentenced Japanese documentary filmmaker Toru Kubota to an additional three years in prison on Wednesday on charges of violating an immigration law, the Japanese government said, bringing the total term of his incarceration to 10 years.
Kubota, 26, was arrested in July at a protest in Myanmar's main city of Yangon. Last week, he was sentenced to three years in prison for sedition and seven years for violating a law on telecommunications.
