The US center admits that we have received reports of arrests.

"It is possible that OUR friends in Medan sympathize with giving drinks, but we do not know that we are taking part in the action. If the police chief's statement (about) logistics, is it wrong to give logistics?" continued Yani.

Meanwhile, about the WhatsApp group called the North Sumatra Police Chief, Yani could not confirm the truth of the group being created by WE Medan.
