Vigils were held in Indonesia and across the world in honour of those who perished in that deadly stampede at a soccer stadium Saturday night.
This comes as Indonesian police investigate over a dozen officers who fired tear gas that led to the bloody end.

GIANNI INFANTINO, FIFA President:
This is a dark day for football, and a tragedy beyond comprehension.
I extend my deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims who lost their lives.

The fluttering flags at FIFA's Switzerland headquarters were lowered to half-staff in memory of the victims.
At least 125 football enthusiasts were fatally crushed, as are grieving relatives of the victims as hundreds of mourners gathered to pay tribute to the victims.
Many lit candles and presented wreathes beside a lion statue -- a nod to Arema FC, whose supporters flooded the pitch after Saturday's match.
