On 1 October 2022, a fatal crowd crush occurred following an association football match at Kanjuruhan Stadium in Malang Regency, East Java, Indonesia. Following a loss by home side Arema to their rivals Persebaya Surabaya, around 3,000 Arema supporters invaded the pitch. Police said that the rioting supportersRead more
attacked the players and the team officials. The police attempted to protect the players and stop the riot, but the crowds clashed with security forces. In response, riot police units deployed tear gas, which triggered a stampede of people in the stadium trying to escape the gas. A crush formed at one exit, resulting in fans being asphyxiated.
As of 24 October 2022, 135 people had lost their lives, and 583 others were injured as a result of the accident. This is the second deadliest stadium disaster in association football history, right behind the 1964 Estadio Nacional disaster in Peru which killed 328 people. It is also the second deadliest crowd crush of 2022 behind the Seoul Halloween crowd crush on 29 October that killed 159. It is therefore also the deadliest football-related disaster in both Asia and the Eastern Hemisphere.
On 6 October 2022, Indonesian police chief Police-General Listyo Sigit Prabowo announced that six different individuals and groups had been placed under suspicion: the director of the match organizer PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB), the Arema head of security officer, the members of the Arema match organizing committee for negligence, and three police officers for the use of tear gas.
On 16 January 2023, almost three months after the disaster, the first trial over events related to the Kanjuruhan disaster was held in Surabaya, East Java.
Six people were prosecuted. Three defendants received prison sentences, while one was released due to insufficient evidence. Two police officers who were initially acquitted were later sentenced by the Indonesian Supreme Court on 23 August 2023.
