The deadly stampede at a football stadium in Guinea on December 1 left 140 people dead with 11 still listed as missing, according to an independent report published Friday.
The report said the stampede, which sparked criticism of the government, also caused serious injuries and material damage during the match played in honour of the leader of the West African country's ruling junta.
"It was during this event that a crowd movement, stone throwing and excessive use of tear gas by defence and security forces brought about an unprecedented tragedy in the region," the report stated. Thousands of people had gathered in the dilapidated April 3 Stadium to watch the game between the local team and one from Labe, in the country's north.A refereeing decision late in the game in favour of the home side angered some rival supporters, leading to several witnesses reporting stones being thrown from outside the stadium, causing the match to be halted and prompting mass jostling in the stands.
The report criticised police use of tear gas inside the stadium which, combined with the bulging crowds saw"several children, not having the strength necessary to struggle, suffocated and trampled by other spectators."
