No injuries were reported on Friday, when thousands of supporters of PSIS Semarang fled tear gas at the entrance to Jatidiri Stadium in Semarang.
Semarang Police Chief Irwan Anwar said the decision was made because of the experience from the previous match between the two teams in Surakarta, when PSIS Semarang supporters were attacked as they returned home.
“The use of tear gas was carried out in accordance with the procedures for using force and was outside the match venue, not inside the stadium,” said Semarang Deputy Police Chief Yuswanto Ardi. Prosecutors charged five men — three police officials who allowed or ordered officers to use tear gas, the chair of the organizing committee and the security chief — with criminal negligence causing death and bodily harm, which carries a penalty of up to five years in jail.
