Indonesian NGO Says Bank Accounts Frozen Without Explanation

Amir Hadi, executive director of Mandiri, said on Monday that bank accounts belonging to the organisation, its leadership, and associated non-governmental groups have been frozen by the financial institution. He stated that neither he nor the organisation had been formally notified of the reasons behind the action. The frozen accounts include those of multiple directors connected to the group, according to Hadi's statement. The development raises questions about the grounds for the financial restriction and whether proper procedural steps were followed before the freeze was implemented. Mandiri has not yet responded to requests for clarification on the matter, and it remains unclear whether the freeze is connected to regulatory compliance issues, investigation procedures, or other considerations. Hadi indicated the organisation plans to seek urgent clarification from the bank regarding the status of the accounts and the circumstances that prompted the action.
