Citizenship Reform: MoU between the Government of the Republic of Indonesia and the Free Aceh Movement
Implementations
Citizenship Reform – 2005
As per Indonesian citizenship law, Indonesian nationals could not hold dual nationality. Also, GAM activists could not return to Indonesia until the government gave them amnesty. After GAM leaders and activists were granted amnesty in August 2005 as provided in the MoU, those who renounced their citizenship could regain it after signing a form prepared by the justice ministry.1
