Five Go on Trial for Negligence over Indonesia Stadium Disaster

Indonesia's National Police sacked the police chiefs of Malang city and East Java province after the tragedy.

The government also suspended all competitive football games after the disaster, but league matches resumed last month without fans in the stands.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo ordered an investigation into what happened and pledged to demolish and rebuild Arema's Kanjuruhan Stadium according to FIFA standards.

The task force investigating the stampede called on the football association chief and all its executive committee members to resign, but they have refused to do so.

The stampede was one of the world's deadliest stadium disasters since 320 people were killed in a crush at a football match in Peru in 1964.
