More than 130 people died in the stampede, which occurred in October during a match between Persebaya and Arema.

Events were triggered by home fans invading the pitch in response to the defeat and throwing objects and missiles in the direction of players and officials, following which police fired tear gas.

This led more than 42,000 spectators inside the 36,000-seat stadium to rush for the exits.

Away supporters had already been banned from the match, due to concerns about potential crowd trouble.

A Government-sanctioned fact-finding team released a report in the aftermath of the incident which concluded "excessive" and "indiscriminate" use of tear gas was the main cause of death.

Arema FC supporters started the rally at Malang City in East Java, as reported by Sportstar, as they marked 40 days since the stampede.

Arema’s fans, known as Aremania, said in a written statement, published to coincide with the rally: "Do arrest and judge all actors behind and the executors on the field from the Kanjuruhan tragedy.

"Make the Kanjuruhan tragedy a serious human rights violation and not just a minor human rights violation.

"Pay for all losses suffered by the victim and the victim’s family through compensation and restitution mechanisms."

The participants in the rally were due to pass by landmarks in the city including the Gajayana Football Stadium, Malang City square and Malang City Hall.

Malang’s Mayor Sutiaji met participants and thanked them for conducting the rally in a peaceful manner.

Following the incident, Indonesian President Joko Widodo confirmed plans to demolish the stadium, while FIFA President Gianni Infantino said the organisation would work closely with the country’s Government and the Football Association of Indonesia.     

Three police officers are among six people to be charged with negligence, facing potential penalties of up to five years in prison.

Authorities are also seeking to prosecute the head of the Liga Indonesia Baru, which organises football competitions in Indonesia, and two Arema Football Club officials.

National police have removed police chiefs from the East Java province and Malang district and suspended nine other officers over violations of professional ethics.
