Violence, tear gas and a deadly crush that erupted following a domestic league soccer match Saturday night marked another tragedy in Indonesian football.

Rights group Amnesty International urged Indonesia to investigate the use of tear gas at the stadium and ensure that those found in violations are tried in open court. Two months later, fans hurled flares and bottles at each other in another match in Kuala Lumpur. The most well-known feud is between Persija Jakarta and Persib Bandung. Fans threw bottles and other objects at players and soccer officials and violence spread outside the stadium, where at least five police cars were toppled and set ablaze and others damaged. Fans are strongly attached to their clubs, and such fanaticism often ends in violence and hooliganism. Here’s a look at how the chaos occurred and what is being done to prevent future incidents:

Policing experts and human rights organizations are raising questions about why police used the chemical. In the panic that ensued, many were trampled, ...

Two other phrases trending on Twitter were “tear gas” and “PrayForKanjuruhan,” referring to the name of the stadium where the calamity took place. But the clouds of tear gas that wafted over made it hard for many of them to breathe, and the nonstop firing of tear gas caused panic. The blame was first put on football hooligans, but Soviet news media later said the police had forced fans out through a single corridor at the Luzhniki Stadium, where they were crushed as others tried to rush back into the stadium after hearing news of a late goal from the Soviet side. Most of those killed were trampled to death in the tunnels, but an unknown number were shot by the police. “They were panicked and their only choice was to get out from the exits or find refuge in the field. Some scuffling between the police and the fans prompted the first burst of tear gas to be fired at about 10:30 p.m. The firing of the tear gas did not let up for an hour, according to Mr. The gas inevitably pushes people to disperse and run away, and asking the question of where the people will run is paramount, Mr. Known as “Bepe,” he was listed as one of the top 10 soccer players in Asia by Later that night, hundreds of Arema fans gathered in at the Gajayana stadium, where the team had won their first title, for a vigil. “And I hope this is the last football tragedy in the country. [deadliest episodes](https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-27540668) in the history of soccer.

Witnesses describe how police use of teargas led to brutal crushes that killed 125 football fans in East Java.

“The sound of shots ringing out was so deafening. “The fans were forced to break it down just to leave the field. Within only 20 minutes, the police truck I rode in was set alight by an angry mob. It was fired because the fans had acted anarchically and entered the field, he said. When he tried to escape, he saw two children who had lost their parents in the chaos. “I held out in the stands even as the gas strangled my throat,” he said. So when the crowd broke, it was full of panicked and suffocating people with burning eyes,” he said. “In my 20 years as an [Arema fan], I have never felt as terrified as I did that night.” “Some on the pitch had tried to get into the players’ locker room, but people on the stands were just watching. He saw teargas fired five times at people waiting in the southern end. When teargas was fired, everyone in the stands rushed to leave. “There was absolutely no tendency to attack Persebaya’s players,” he added.

Brawls are common among rival Indonesian soccer fans, so much so that the organizer had banned Persebaya supporters from Arema's stadium. But violence still ...

“We must continue to maintain sportsmanship, humanity and a sense of brotherhood of the Indonesian nation.” Hundreds of soccer fans, mostly wearing black shirts, held a candlelight vigil on Sunday night at Gelora Bung Karno, Indonesia’s largest sport stadium in the capital, Jakarta, for the victims of the disaster. Brawls were reported outside the stadium during and after the semifinals of the East Java Governor’s Cup, which ended with Persebaya beating Arema 4-2. In April 2001, more than 40 people are crushed to death during a soccer match at Ellis Park in Johannesburg, South Africa. “Officers fired tear gas directly at spectators in the stands, forcing us to run toward the exit,” he said. Youth and Sports Minister Zainudin Amali said the incident “has certainly injured our soccer image.” Indonesia is due to host the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup from May 20 to June 11, with 24 participating teams. People must be warned that tear gas will be used and allowed to disperse. National Police chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo said the death toll had been revised to 125 from 174, after authorities found some of the victims were counted twice. Asked what triggered the panic, he replied: “Tear gas.” In the chaos, 34 died at the stadium, including two officers, and some reports include children among the casualties. At least five police vehicles were toppled and set ablaze outside the stadium. It was among the deadliest disasters ever at a sporting event.

The lethal disaster on Saturday could finally be lead to real change in the attitudes of the government, the security forces and fans.

One such time was in 2018 when the league was suspended after the death of Haringga Sirila, a fan of Persija who was beaten to death by fans of their bitter rivals Persib Bandung. Thousands of fellow supporters held a vigil for the youngster and held up signs demanding an end to police brutality against football fans. The country’s president, Joko Widodo, has ordered a stop to all league games until there is an investigation as to what happened and an evaluation made into the security situation of all matches. There have been plenty of times in the past when football fan groups – such as “Jakmania”, who follow Persija Jakarta – that have six-figure memberships and plenty of influence have come together to say “no more”. In the 2007 Asian Cup, when Indonesia played Saudi Arabia there was an official attendance of 88,000 and the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium was full even before thousands more managed to gain entry later to sit on steps and gangways. But on this occasion, there were only Arema Malang fans present as followers of Persebaya Surabaya were not allowed to attend in an attempt to reduce the potential for violence.

At least 125 people died when soccer fans rushed the field after a professional soccer match in Malang, Indonesia, on Saturday. Many were trampled.

[The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.](https://www.thomsonreuters.com/en/about-us/trust-principles.html) Oct 3 (Reuters) - Indonesia will establish an independent fact-finding team to investigate a deadly soccer stampede in a stadium in East Java and help find the perpetrators behind the disaster, chief security minister Mahfud MD told a news conference on Monday.

Police maintain that their lives were in danger but families from the victims and experts say the use of tear gas in the crowded stadium was unwarranted.

Sambo was dishonorably discharged in September for his part in the scandal, which is now widely considered one of the worst cases of police corruption in Indonesia’s history. “This is not to dismiss the serious threats [the police] may have faced,” Baker said, noting that there were two officers among the dead.

After Halid was banned from running for another term, a rival league, federation and national team emerged. Restrictions on visiting fans also have failed in the past.

Indonesia has set its October coal benchmark price at a record high of $330.97 per tonne, as demand from Europe rises, its energy ministry said on Monday.

Global supply shortages and growing energy security concerns have driven an unprecedented rebound in coal demand. It also broke the previous record of $323.91 per tonne in June. "The reactivation of coal power plants in a number of European countries has contributed to the rise of global coal demand," the ministry said in a statement.

In a written rebuttal, the scientists called it a “flawed extrapolation” of data from a limited number of monitoring sites representing a tiny fraction of the overall orangutan population. Herlambang, who teaches law at Gadjah Madah University, said attacks on environmental dissent had increased in the past five years. “I would love to see data that actually argues we’re wrong,” he added. The plan, known as a SRAK, has not been re-issued. (Tapanuli orangutans, which would previously have been counted as Sumatran orangutans, were identified as a separate species in 2017, with a population of around 800.) Some of the sites had been used to release captive orangutans into the wild, further inflating the numbers, they added. The ministry didn’t respond to requests for comment. According to an Indonesian activist who didn’t want to be named “due to the anti-criticism attitude of our government that could jeopardize our urgent work in the field,” the ministry revoked the SRAK because it was “considered to have delivered negative voices as it contains the narrative of deforestation as the main threat and that orangutans are critically endangered.” [wrote](https://www.thejakartapost.com/opinion/2022/09/14/orangutan-conservation-needs-agreement-on-data-and-trends.html) in the Post that “a wide range of scientific studies show that all three orangutan species have declined in the past few decades and that nowhere are populations growing.” - The banning of the five is the latest in a string of actions by the current government that local and foreign academics have slammed as “repressing science.” The letter accused the five scientists of writing with “negative intentions” that could “discredit” the government and ordered regional conservation authorities not only to bar them from operating but to report the activities of any foreign researchers, and of any Indonesian ones with foreign funding, to ministry headquarters.

Police and sports officials have been sent to Malang to investigate what is one of the world's deadliest stadium disasters. The official had earlier put the death toll of children at 17. In a 1989 British disaster, 96 Liverpool supporters were crushed to death when an overcrowded and fenced-in enclosure collapsed at the Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield. Panic-stricken spectators were crushed as they tried to escape the overpacked stadium in Malang, East Java, on Saturday after police fired tear gas to disperse fans from the losing home side who ran onto the pitch at the end of the domestic league match. At least 32 of the victims were children aged between 3 and 17 years, Nahar, an official at the women's empowerment and child protection ministry, told Reuters. Indonesia on Monday set up an independent team to investigate a stampede at a soccer stadium that killed 125 people, including 32 children, as the country's human rights commission questioned the police use of tear gas.
