NABIRE - At least 18 people were killed in a stadium stampede on Sunday night after a riot broke out over the result of a boxing match in Nabire, in eastern Indonesia.

Around midnight, just after the end of an amateur boxing game, some spectators started protesting the local boxer's loss by throwing chairs at the judges.

The winner's supporters responded by throwing bottles and broken chairs, reports The Jakarta Post.

Spectators tried to run outside and trampled on each other, reports CNN. Out of the 18 victims, 12 were women; more than 40 other spectators were injured and hospitalized, according to Reuters.

The Kota Lama Sport Stadium, in the remote province of Papua, was designed to welcome 1,000 spectators, but 1,500 tickets had been sold for the game, said Hendrick Andoi, head of the Nabire Amateur Boxing Association. The stadium reportedly had only two working exits.

BUENOS AIRES The Diary of Anne Frank was first published on June 25, 1947 as Het Achterhuis (The Annex) in Dutch, selling a modest 3 million copies.

The work is unique for several reasons: its literary style, its significance as a historical document, and the fact that teenagers from all walks of life can identify with it.

To that end, it has already been translated into more than 70 languages. Now, 76 years after it was first published, Argentina’s Anne Frank Center has launched a first-ever Easy Reading edition, in Spanish.

This version of "El Diario de Ana Frank" was written in collaboration with people with intellectual and learning disabilities. Easy Reading is a support technique that helps readers better understand a book through adapted text, images and formatting.

Héctor Shalom, director of the Anne Frank Center in Argentina, explained to Clarín that the goal was to make the world's most famous diary accessible while remaining loyal to the source material.
