Komnas HAM: Gate Tribun 10-14 Open Even Though Small Doors!

JAKARTA - The National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) said the door to 13 Kanjuruhan Stadium was open when the riots occurred. The disclosure of this was based on video evidence and the results of the clarification of related parties.

"Based on the video and information received by Komnas HAM RI, it was found that the condition of the stands was open even though what was opened was a small door, including the door to the stands of 10, 11, 12, 13," said Komnas HAM Commissioner Choirul Anam to reporters, Wednesday, October 12.

Thus, the findings refute the news that circulated about the door in the 13th tribune in a closed condition. Moreover, there is evidence that has been obtained regarding this matter.

"We confirmed that it was included in various videos spread across the media that were given a caption that the door was closed even though it was open," he said.

However, with only the opening of the small door, it causes a buildup of spectators who are scrambling to get out.

Then, it was exacerbated by the shooting of tear gas. These things are said to be the main cause of the large number of deaths.

"The door 13 is open but small in and out so that it is at that point the blockage of people continues because their eyes are scathing with shortness of breath and so on, eventually causing many victims to fall," said Anam.

For information, the tragedy of the Malang Kanjuruhan Stadium at least 132 people died. Then, hundreds of other people suffered minor to serious injuries.
