After the chaos and violence on Saturday and the stupor and consternation on Sunday, the funerals for some of the 125 victims of the Kanjuruhan stadium tragedy on the island of Java (Indonesia) have started this Monday. Meanwhile, the Government of the country has announced the opening of an independent investigation to clarify the tragedy that began after the final whistle of the soccer match between Arema FC and Persebaya Surabaya until it became one of the blackest events in the history of this sport.
As questions about the behavior of the police device deployed in the field increase, the Indonesian authorities have provided the number of children among the deceased: there are at least 32.
“The Police must immediately reveal the perpetrators involved in criminal acts,” demanded Mahfud MD, Minister of Security, in an appearance in which he assured that “measures will be taken” against those responsible. The member of the Executive has also demanded that the police “evaluate their security procedures”, according to EFE.
