The national police have sacked the head of a local police station after a riot at a soccer stadium in Indonesia killed more than 100 spectators on Saturday.

In Indonesia, criticism is mounting that the military, which was also on guard together, was overreacted.

On the 1st in Malang Province, East Java, Indonesia, some of the supporters of the losing team entered the ground after a professional soccer league match.



In response, police fired tear gas, causing panic among spectators, and 125 people have been confirmed dead so far.



A woman who visited the memorial said, "I want you to thoroughly investigate so that the victims can sleep peacefully."



Domestically, police have been criticized for overreacting by firing tear gas.



Under these circumstances, the National Police dismissed the head of the police station in Malang Province, which was responsible for the security of the match.



It seems that there is an aim to dodge the criticism that is increasing day by day.



In addition, a video of a military soldier who was guarding with the police and allegedly kicking a spectator has spread on social media, and the criticism is also directed at the military.



Bambang Rukmint of the Indonesian Security Strategic Institute, an expert on police issues in Indonesia, said: "The actions of the police should not be justified. The security system in football as a whole, including whether the military's involvement in security was appropriate. need to be reviewed,” he said.
