    A Myanmar national was arrested and at least three people were injured Saturday in a minor clash between Myanmar residents in Japan and police in front of the Myanmar Embassy in Tokyo's Shinagawa Ward, police and firefighters said.
     The 41-year-old Myanmar man was arrested for beating a police officer as about 150 Myanmar residents in Japan gathered in front of the embassy to demand their rights for expatriate voting on a bill for a new Myanmar constitution and then clashed with the police. About 200 riot police were mobilized to the embassy.
