Tear gas fired by the police led to the deaths of 132 people, including dozens of children, at a football match in Indonesia, according to the findings of a government-led investigation.
Footage from closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras around the East Java stadium confirmed that most of the victims were injured or killed in an ensuing stampede after the police shot the gas into the crowd, said Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD in a press briefing on Friday.
