Families dismayed as Indonesia court acquits two police over stadium crush that left 135 dead

Another officer jailed but sentence too light, say victims’ relatives, after police blamed for triggering crush last October

An Indonesian court has acquitted two senior police officers charged with negligence over a stadium crowd crush last year that killed 135 people, angering relatives of those who died in one of football’s worst tragedies.

Another officer was jailed for 18 months but families of the victims said he had been treated too leniently.
