Several Indonesian authorities and priests have expressed their condolences for the tragedy at the stadium in Malang, on the island of Java, where 127 people died in violence that broke out after a football match between Arema FC and Persebaya Surabaya. The death toll is set to rise: many seriously injured are still in hospital, while dozens of dead bodies, lacking personal documents, have yet to be identified.
'I express my deepest condolences to the victims and their families,' President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo said in a video posted on his YouTube channel. The government will set up an independent fact-finding team headed by the Minister of Security, while football matches in the Indonesian top league, Liga 1, will remain suspended until further notice.
