MALANG, Indonesia (Reuters) - Thousands of football fans protested in Indonesia's East Java on Thursday, demanding further investigation into police conduct at a stampede that killed 135 people after a match in October.

Protesters, some carrying coffins and signs that said "All this because of tear gas" as they marched on the main thoroughfare of the city of Malang, also called for the tragedy to be deemed a gross human rights violation.
