Surabaya (ANTARA) - Thousands of Persebaya supporters known as Bonekmania held a joint prayer for hundreds of victims of the Kanjuruhan tragedy at the Heroes Monument, Surabaya City, East Java, Monday night.

We get rid of rivalry, we are here in the framework of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. Greetings, one guts," said Husein Gozali from Bonekmania who is familiar greeted Cak Cong when giving a speech.

They also lit candles as condolences and concerns over the Kanjuruhan tragedy after Arema FC's match against Persebaya, Saturday night last week.
On behalf of Persebaya, Nanang prayed for the victims of the tragedy in Kanjuruhan and thanked the Surabaya Police Chief for leading the escort of the Persebaya players in a safe condition.
"We, from Persebaya management, invite the puppets that the rivalry is 90 minutes, the rest are brothers," he said.
The chairman of the Surabaya DPRD, Adi Sutarwijono, invites all parties to pray for the deceased victims of the Kanjuruhan Tragedy to get a noble place with God Almighty.
"Hopefully the injured will also be given a speedy recovery. We agree, nothing exceeds human life, even though it's a match. Hopefully this will be the last," he said.
Chaos occurred after Arema FC's match against Persebaya Surabaya which ended 2-3 for Persebaya at the Kanjuruhan Stadium, Malang Regency, East Java, Saturday, October 1.
The defeat caused a number of supporters to go down and enter the field. The riots escalated as a number of flares were thrown including other objects.
The security guard then tried to prevent it by making a diversion so that the fans were not on the field to chase the players. In the process, officers fired tear gas.
Tear gas was released because the disgruntled Singo Edan supporters who took to the field were too anarchic and endangered the safety of players and officials.
