Demands:
– *Investigation:* The North Sumatra Attorney General’s Office should investigate and prosecute those involved in the alleged irregularities.
– *Transparency:* BSI should provide transparent explanations regarding the freezing of MSR’s account and take responsibility if found guilty.
– *Action:* The North Sumatra Police Chief should expedite the handling of MSR’s report, and the BSI KC Aksara leadership should be held accountable if found guilty.
Ultimatum:
KMMB SUMUT will hold a mass action on November 27, 2025, if concrete actions are not taken by the relevant authorities. The action will be held at the North Sumatra Attorney General’s Office, BSI Regional Office, and North Sumatra Police Headquarters ¹.
