People in Indonesia visited a soccer stadium in East Java on Sunday in remembrance of the victims of a deadly stampede there exactly a year ago.

The incident occurred after a professional match in Malang City. Police fired tear gas after fans of the defeated home team stormed the pitch, causing panicked spectators to rush toward the exits. One hundred thirty-five people died.

On Sunday, some people were crying in front of the exits while viewing photos of the victims.

A man who was involved in the panicked rush said he has come to the site for the first time since the incident, and that this required courage.

A government fact-finding team concluded that the firing of tear gas was the main cause of the stampede resulting in the high number of deaths. Police officers and officials of the home team were given prison sentences for their roles in the incident.

Indonesia will host the FIFA Under-17 Men's World Cup that starts in November. Many people are voicing the need to ensure the safe management of big events.
