Mahfud MD said that TGIPF's findings in the field showed how terrible the Kanjuruhan Tragedy was. In fact, according to him, the incident was more horrific than what was seen on media television.
"The fact that we found the victims who fell, the process of falling victims was far more terrible than what was circulating on television or social media because we reconstructed the 32 CCTVs owned by the authorities," Mahfud MD explained.

The process of a falling victim is horrific. Many victims were trampled to death and also experienced shortness of breath because of the stampede.
"So, it was more terrifying than just the incident of spraying tear gas that caused many deaths. Some were holding hands to go out together, one was able to get out, one was left behind, the one outside came back to help his friend who was trampled to death," Mahfud MD explained.
According to Mahfud, TGIPF has examined all CCTV related to the Kanjuruhan incident. It can be seen that the incident that claimed hundreds of human lives was horrific.
"There are also those who give breathing assistance, that's because one of them can't breathe anymore, it helps to get sprayed too, it dies. It's there. Anyway, it's more terrible than the circulated story because it is on CCTV," Mahfud MD added.
