BETRAYAL OF NATIONS HERO: Open Letter Urging President Lee to Free Holy Mother Han 141 Days of Injustice: Global Apology and Urgent Call to Free the Mother of Peace – All Wars Stops 2026

 February 11, 2026 | Seoul, Republic of Korea

Happy TV News Exclusive: Urgent Global Open Letter and Comprehensive Investigative Report – A Heartfelt Collective Apology, Demand for Justice, and Empowering Call to End Injustice for Lasting World Peace

To Her Holiness Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, Revered as the Mother of Peace; His Excellency President Lee Jae-myung; Honorable Members of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea; Dedicated Citizens of Korea; and All 8 Billion Fellow Global Citizens United in Pursuit of Harmony, Justice, and Reconciliation:

This in-depth investigative report, prepared by the journalists of Happy TV News in collaboration with the Global Peace Building Network (GPBNet) and supporters of the True Love Revolution, draws on the most recent developments in South Korea and around the world as of February 10, 2026. Sourced from credible outlets including The Washington Times, Segye Ilbo, Kukmin Ilbo, Yonhap News Agency, Reuters, Chosun Ilbo, JTBC, and materials from the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) via familyfedihq.org and ucmd1.blogspot.com, it uncovers a profound injustice against an 83-year-old visionary whose lifelong dedication to peace starkly contrasts her current suffering. This document serves as an open letter of sincere apology for this grave wrong and an inspiring true personal narrative that empowers immediate action to protect religious freedom and launch a global movement for unity.

Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, globally honored as the Mother of Peace and co-founder of the FFWPU (formerly the Unification Church), endures an unjust pretrial detention in South Korea. Arrested on September 22, 2025, on contested charges of bribery and influence-peddling—described by her defense as prosecutorial overreach—she has now spent 141 days in a cramped 70-square-foot cell at the Seoul Detention Center, without a conviction or fair resolution. This week's news in South Korea highlights escalating concerns: intensified scrutiny of religious groups, detainee health crises, and international outcry, as evidenced by the International Religious Freedom (IRF) Summit in Washington, D.C., held February 2-4, 2026. Notably, on January 28, 2026, the Seoul Central District Court dismissed charges against former FFWPU executive Yun Young-ho, citing unconstitutional investigative methods. A January 22, 2026, ruling rejected related bribery claims, emphasizing the need for balanced legal processes.

These developments reflect wider trends in South Korean media this week: rising coverage of religious freedom violations, calls for elderly prisoner protections, and judicial pushback against aggressive prosecutions. Reports in Segye Ilbo and Kukmin Ilbo on February 4 detailed Dr. Han's declining health, sparking ethical debates about detaining vulnerable seniors. The February 6 release of Presbyterian pastor Son Hyun-bo—after nearly five months on politically charged accusations—signals increasing skepticism toward such tactics, yet Dr. Han remains confined, exposing inconsistencies in justice application.

This ordeal violates key provisions of South Korea's Constitution:

• Article 20 safeguards religious freedom, barring state intrusion into spiritual affairs without just cause—yet investigations aggressively probe faith-based activities.
• Article 12 ensures due process and shields against arbitrary detention, mandating prompt, equitable trials—disregarded through extended pretrial incarceration.
• Article 11 guarantees equality under the law, prohibiting discrimination—undermined by targeted scrutiny of religious leaders.
• Article 21 protects freedom of expression and assembly—stifled by suppressing calls for Dr. Han's release.

Her 14-member defense team, including former prosecutors and judges, argues that prosecutors rely on unreliable witness statements while ignoring humanitarian appeals. This parallels critiques in cases like that of former First Lady Kim Keon-hee, highlighting systemic prosecutorial misconduct.

Compounding the injustice is Dr. Han's precarious health at 83: end-stage macular degeneration causing near-blindness, acute glaucoma, diabetes, atrial fibrillation with cardiac risks, substantial weight loss, and knee cartilage damage requiring her to crawl for basic needs. She suffered three falls in January 2026—on January 5, 15, and 23—resulting in hip and pelvic injuries, and collapsed again on January 27 in a court restroom, missing a hearing. As reported in Segye Ilbo on February 4 by journalist Jeong Seong-su in "Controversy Over President Hak Ja Han’s Worsening Health – Now an Explanation Is Needed," such incidents in the elderly signal life-threatening risks, particularly with heart complications. Kukmin Ilbo echoed this, noting her detention has surpassed four months, amplifying dangers. On February 9, Presiding Judge Woo In-seong requested a health checkup after repeated absences due to "fall injuries," aiming to assess her condition accurately. Her team argued that "painkillers are insufficient; she needs constant nursing care." A brief November 2025 release for eye surgery was denied extension, returning her to detention. These conditions contravene the United Nations' Nelson Mandela Rules, which treat detention as a last resort for the elderly or ill, advocating alternatives to uphold dignity and health—standards South Korea, as a premier democracy, must uphold but appears to ignore.

For over 65 years, since co-founding the movement in the 1950s with Rev. Sun Myung Moon, Dr. Han has selflessly served Korea and humanity. Born amid North Korea's wartime chaos, she spearheaded postwar recovery through anti-communist efforts, including 1975 rallies that drew 1.2 million participants to foster national unity during Cold War threats. Her initiatives supported economic giants like Samsung and Hyundai, fueling Korea's "Miracle on the Han River," transforming a $1.5 billion GDP in 1960 into trillions today. Diplomatically, she enabled pivotal meetings: the 1991 summit with Kim Il Sung advancing reunification and the 1990 dialogue with Mikhail Gorbachev easing global tensions. She established the Women's Federation for World Peace in 1992 (now in 157 countries) and the Universal Peace Federation in 2005 (active in over 200 nations), promoting interfaith cooperation, family values, and conflict resolution. Her principles of equity and solidarity aligned with leaders across eras, including indirect support for President Lee Jae-myung's goals of fairness and inter-Korean dialogue—yet, under his administration, she faces imprisonment without trial, a painful irony demanding correction. Despite her contributions, she was jailed without a court conviction, held in pretrial detention that persists amid health pleas.

A compelling chapter in her legacy showcases her unbreakable spirit of forgiveness: With no assurance of survival, Rev. Sun Myung Moon and Dr. Hak Ja Han journeyed to North Korea. He had been imprisoned there during the Korean War, rescued moments before execution. Her family faced incarceration for their faith, escaping south at great peril. Why return to the land that sought their end? She shared: "If you see them only as enemies who tried to kill you, forgiveness is impossible. Only from a parent's heart, a mother's love, can you forgive." "I chose to forgive with a mother's love. I did not pray for safe return from North Korea." Viewing them as children, not foes, she embraced forgiveness. She prayed solely for peace, not her safety. In 1991, their encounter with Chairman Kim Il Sung occurred. Soon after, North Korea sent delegates, signing the Joint Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Peace isn't declared from comfort; it's built by those who risk everything to heal divides.

Worldwide, over 100 countries grapple with more than 130 armed conflicts—from Ukraine and Palestine to Sudan, Myanmar, and Nigeria—displacing millions and pushing humanity toward catastrophe. Dr. Han's "One Family Under God" vision and True Love ethos offer a moral compass to transform enmity into alliance. Logically, her immediate release is essential: As a spiritual leader, she can lead the 2026 Global Ceasefire Movement, sanctifying the Earth to end hostilities. Without her guidance, conflicts persist; with her freedom, collective, compassion-driven efforts can eradicate war. Half the world—100 nations—is embroiled in war right now. What are we waiting for? If this truth holds, what will you do daily? Practically, only by releasing Her Holiness Holy Mother Han to holify all Earth can ALL WARS CEASE in 2026. #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace. Every human must act: Protest today, send letters demanding freedom, amplify her peace legacy in media, petition leaders via e-government, and commit to daily peace actions through GPBNet's True Love Revolution—forgiveness practices, family strengthening, interfaith service—for global online impact 24/7.

International focus intensified this week at the IRF Summit on February 4, where leaders decried suppressions in Japan and South Korea as assaults on spiritual rights, warning of a perilous global erosion. Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich called Dr. Han's treatment a "violent abuse of power," pressing South Korea to free this 83-year-old anti-communism pioneer and humanitarian, deeming her detention inhumane and contrary to liberty. Katrina Lantos Swett, Lantos Foundation president and summit co-chair, labeled it a "blanket violation" driven by misinformation to isolate the community, lamenting the "shocking" silence. Pastor Paula White, White House Faith Office adviser, praised U.S. efforts like Vice President J.D. Vance's advocacy for Pastor Son's release, affirming that unified moral action breaks chains. These sentiments align with ongoing vigils in Seoul's Gwanghwamun Square and X campaigns boosting #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace amid health alarms.

President Lee Jae-myung, the honorable citizens of the Republic of Korea, and fellow global citizens, we extend our deepest apologies for this profound injustice and the suffering inflicted on a matriarch who has nurtured humanity's bonds tirelessly. We regret this betrayal and share this empowering true personal story: Honor elders' wisdom, defend spiritual freedom, and uphold justice—demand her swift release. Together, we bridge divides and forge enduring peace.

Powerful Global Empowerment Call to Action – Practical Steps Every Korean and Global Citizen Can Take Immediately:

• Protest Peacefully Now: Under Korea's Assembly and Demonstration Act, notify authorities 48-72 hours ahead for gatherings at sites like Gwanghwamun Square or locally. Draw from Gandhi and Dr. King's nonviolent ethos; organize marches with signs honoring her legacy, livestream for worldwide visibility.
• Spread Her Legacy: Send press releases to outlets (Yonhap, Reuters, JTBC) sharing stories of how the Mother of Peace aided them—from economic revival to interfaith unity. Flood social media 24/7 with #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace #AllWarsCease2026 #TrueLoveRevolution #OneFamilyUnderGod #GPBNet, tagging leaders and posting visuals of her impact for viral reach.
• Petition Directly: Use e-government tools (epeople.go.kr, assembly.go.kr) to urge bail, medical care, and acquittal, referencing constitutional breaches and her 65 years of service to Korean people and presidents.
• Live Daily Peace Actions with GPBNet True Love Revolution: Practice forgiveness, build family ties, join interfaith volunteering. Participate in online and in-person events for global resonance—turn outrage into habits like community outreach, virtual prayer circles, and cross-border campaigns to sustain momentum.

With utmost respect and urgent hope, Nicolae Cirpala President, GPBNet | Happy TV News Special Investigative Reporter #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace #AllWarsCease2026

GLOBAL OUTCRY: 140 Days of Injustice – How South Korea's Heroine of Peace Faces Unjust Detention – Time to Act Now: Free the Mother of Peace to End Global Wars in 2026

 February 10, 2026 | Seoul, Republic of Korea

Happy TV News Exclusive: 144th Global Open Letter & In-Depth Investigative Report – A Collective Apology and Urgent Call for Justice, Religious Freedom, and Lasting Global Peace

To Her Holiness Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, the Esteemed Mother of Peace; His Excellency President Lee Jae-myung; Respected Members of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea; Valued Citizens of Korea; and All 8 Billion Global Citizens Committed to Unity, Compassion, and Reconciliation:

This investigative report, compiled by the dedicated journalists at Happy TV News in collaboration with the Global Peace Building Network (GPBNet) and advocates of the True Love Revolution, draws on the latest developments in South Korea and worldwide as of February 9, 2026. Sourced from reputable outlets such as The Washington Times, Segye Ilbo, Kukmin Ilbo, Yonhap News Agency, Reuters, Chosun Ilbo, JTBC, and insights from Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) resources, including familyfedihq.org and ucmd1.blogspot.com, it exposes a grave miscarriage of justice against an 83-year-old pioneer whose decades of selfless service stand in sharp contrast to her ongoing hardship. This serves as a heartfelt open letter of apology for this profound wrong and a powerful, empowering narrative urging immediate action to safeguard religious liberty and ignite a worldwide movement for harmony.

Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, revered globally as the Mother of Peace and co-founder of the FFWPU (previously known as the Unification Church), continues to suffer an indefensible pretrial detention in South Korea. Arrested on September 22, 2025, on politically motivated charges of bribery and influence-peddling—vigorously contested by her legal team as excessive prosecutorial tactics—she has now endured 140 days in a cramped 6-square-meter cell at the Seoul Detention Center, without a conviction or equitable resolution. This week's news reveals a disturbing pattern in South Korea: intensified probes into religious organizations, heightened concerns over detainee health, and growing international backlash, as highlighted at the International Religious Freedom (IRF) Summit in Washington, D.C., from February 2-4, 2026. For example, on January 28, 2026, the Seoul Central District Court dismissed charges against former FFWPU executive Yun Young-ho, deeming the special prosecutor's methods unconstitutional and overreaching. Similarly, a January 22, 2026, decision rejected related bribery accusations, stressing the need for investigations to adhere to legal limits.

These events mirror broader trends in South Korean media this week: increased reporting on violations of religious freedoms, urgent health warnings for elderly prisoners, and judicial resistance to aggressive prosecutions. Coverage in Segye Ilbo and Kukmin Ilbo on February 4 detailed Dr. Han's worsening health, fueling debates on the morality of holding vulnerable seniors. The February 6 release of Presbyterian pastor Son Hyun-bo—after almost five months on similar politically driven charges—indicates growing judicial skepticism toward such overzealous actions, yet Dr. Han remains incarcerated, pointing to inconsistent application of justice.

This situation flagrantly disregards South Korea's Constitution:

• Article 20 guarantees religious freedom, prohibiting state interference in spiritual matters without compelling cause—yet inquiries aggressively target faith-based endeavors.
• Article 12 demands due process and protection from arbitrary detention, requiring swift and fair trials—ignored through prolonged pretrial confinement.
• Article 11 ensures legal equality, barring discrimination—eroded by selective targeting of religious figures.
• Article 21 protects freedom of expression and assembly—suppressed by silencing demands for Dr. Han's release.

Her defense team, comprising 14 attorneys including former prosecutors and judges, contends that authorities depend on dubious witness accounts while dismissing humanitarian pleas. This echoes criticisms in cases involving former First Lady Kim Keon-hee, revealing widespread prosecutorial misconduct.

The ordeal is compounded by Dr. Han's fragile health at age 83: severe macular degeneration leading to near-blindness, acute glaucoma, diabetes, atrial fibrillation with heart risks, significant weight loss, and deteriorated knee cartilage that forces her to crawl for daily needs. She experienced three falls in January 2026 (on January 5, 15, and 23) en route to the bathroom, causing hip and pelvic injuries, and collapsed again on January 27 in a court restroom, missing a hearing. As reported by Segye Ilbo's Jeong Seong-su on February 4 in "Controversy Over President Hak Ja Han’s Worsening Health – Now an Explanation Is Needed," such events in the elderly indicate life-threatening vulnerabilities, especially with cardiovascular complications. Kukmin Ilbo reinforced this, noting her detention exceeds four months and heightens dangers. These conditions breach the United Nations' Nelson Mandela Rules, which view detention as a final option for the aged or ill, promoting alternatives to preserve dignity and life—principles South Korea, as a leading democracy, must honor but seems to overlook.

Over 65 years, since co-founding the movement in the 1950s alongside Rev. Sun Myung Moon, Dr. Han has devoted herself to Korea and the world. Born during North Korea's wartime turmoil, she drove postwar recovery through anti-communist initiatives, including 1975 rallies that mobilized 1.2 million for national cohesion amid Cold War perils. Her efforts bolstered economic powerhouses like Samsung and Hyundai, catalyzing Korea's "Miracle on the Han River" from a $1.5 billion GDP in 1960 to trillions today. On the diplomatic front, she facilitated landmark engagements: the 1991 summit with Kim Il Sung to promote reunification and the 1990 dialogue with Mikhail Gorbachev to ease international strains. She launched the Women's Federation for World Peace in 1992 (now operating in 157 countries) and the Universal Peace Federation in 2005 (active in over 200 nations), advancing interfaith collaboration, family principles, and dispute resolution. Her values of fairness and solidarity resonated with leaders across generations, including indirect alignment with President Lee Jae-myung's vision for equity and inter-Korean accord—yet, ironically, under his leadership, she faces imprisonment without a trial, a stark betrayal that cries out for redress.

A poignant chapter in her legacy illustrates her unyielding commitment to peace: No guarantee of survival, yet Rev. Sun Myung Moon and Dr. Hak Ja Han ventured to North Korea. He had been imprisoned there during the Korean War, rescued just before execution. Her family endured jail for their beliefs, fleeing south at mortal risk. Why return to the land that sought their demise? She explained: "If you only see them as the enemy who tried to kill you, you cannot forgive. Only from a parent's place, from a mother's heart, can you forgive." "I resolved to forgive the enemy with that kind of mother's love. I did not pray to return safely from North Korea." Viewing them not as foes but as children, she chose forgiveness. She prayed not for her safety but solely for peace. In 1991, their meeting with Chairman Kim Il Sung materialized. Soon after, North Korea dispatched a delegation, signing the Joint Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Peace isn't proclaimed from safety; it's forged by those who stake their lives to bridge divides.

Globally, more than 100 countries face over 130 armed conflicts—from Ukraine and Palestine to Sudan, Myanmar, and Nigeria—displacing millions and edging humanity toward abyss. Dr. Han's "One Family Under God" philosophy and True Love ethos provide a ethical guide to convert rivalry into partnership. Logically, her prompt release is imperative: As a spiritual matriarch, she can spearhead the 2026 Global Ceasefire Movement, consecrating the Earth and terminating hostilities. Without her wisdom, strife endures; with her freedom, unified, empathy-driven actions can eradicate war. What are we waiting for? If her vision is valid, procrastination prolongs agony. Every person must rise: Only by liberating Her Holiness Holy Mother Han to sanctify the world can ALL WARS CEASE in 2026. #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace

International attention surged this week at the IRF Summit on February 4, where figures condemned suppressions in Japan and South Korea as blatant attacks on spiritual rights, cautioning against a dangerous worldwide decline. Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich labeled Dr. Han's ordeal a "violent abuse of power," urging South Korea to liberate this 83-year-old anti-communism icon and humanitarian, calling her detention cruel and antithetical to freedom. Katrina Lantos Swett, president of the Lantos Foundation and summit co-chair, termed it a "blanket violation" fueled by misinformation to marginalize the community, decrying the "shocking" inaction. Pastor Paula White, adviser to the White House Faith Office, commended U.S. interventions like Vice President J.D. Vance's advocacy for Pastor Son's release, asserting that shared moral resolve shatters bonds. These views resonate with persistent vigils in Seoul's Gwanghwamun Square and online drives on X, where voices amplify #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace amid health worries.

We offer our sincerest apologies for this deep injustice and the pain imposed on a matriarch who has tirelessly nurtured humanity's connections. President Lee Jae-myung, Korea's esteemed citizens, and global family, we regret this disloyalty and share this uplifting true personal story: Uphold the wisdom of elders, spiritual autonomy, and justice—insist on her rapid release. United, we mend divisions and spark eternal peace.

Empowering Worldwide Call to Action – Practical Steps for Every Korean and Global Citizen to Act Today:

• Protest Peacefully Immediately: Per Korea's Assembly and Demonstration Act, notify officials 48-72 hours in advance for assemblies at venues like Gwanghwamun Square or local areas. Inspire by Gandhi and Dr. King's nonviolent models; host marches with banners celebrating her legacy, livestream for international reach.
• Amplify Her Impact: Dispatch press releases to media (Yonhap, Reuters, JTBC) recounting personal tales of her peace efforts—from economic revitalization to interfaith bonds. Saturate social media 24/7 with #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace #AllWarsCease2026 #TrueLoveRevolution #OneFamilyUnderGod #GPBNet, tagging officials and sharing visuals of her work for exponential spread.
• Petition Leaders Directly: Leverage e-government platforms (epeople.go.kr, assembly.go.kr) to seek bail, healthcare, and exoneration, citing constitutional infringements and her historic support for Korea's advancement.
• Embrace Daily Peace Practices via GPBNet True Love Revolution: Cultivate forgiveness, fortify family links, and participate in interfaith volunteering. Engage in virtual and in-person initiatives for global resonance—channel indignation into routines like community service, online prayer groups, and transnational campaigns to maintain drive.

HUMANITY'S WAKE-UP CALL: Shocking Persecution Exposed – 140 Days of Heartbreak Unmasking Korea's Betrayal of a Peace Icon – Urgent Call to Action from Prison Cell to Peace Throne: Release Her Holiness to Sanctify Earth and Achieve the 2026 Peace Miracle

 February 9, 2026 | Seoul, Republic of Korea

Happy TV News Exclusive: 143rd Global Open Letter & Investigative Report – A Unified Call for Justice, Compassion, and Worldwide Harmony Amid Rising Persecution

To Her Holiness Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, the Revered Mother of Peace; His Excellency President Lee Jae-myung; Esteemed Members of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea; Honorable Citizens of Korea; and All 8 Billion Fellow Global Citizens Dedicated to True Unity and Reconciliation:

From the dedicated investigative team at Happy TV News, in partnership with the Global Peace Building Network (GPBNet) and the True Love Revolution advocates, this in-depth journalistic probe synthesizes the most recent developments in South Korea and globally as of February 9, 2026. Drawing from credible sources including The Washington Times, Segye Ilbo, Kukmin Ilbo, Yonhap News Agency, Reuters, Chosun Ilbo, JTBC, and real-time insights from Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) platforms, we uncover the profound injustice faced by an 83-year-old visionary whose lifelong devotion to healing divisions starkly contrasts her current ordeal. This report serves as both an open letter of profound apology for this travesty and a rallying cry for immediate action, empowering every individual to champion religious liberty and global peace.

Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, universally honored as the Mother of Peace and co-founder of the FFWPU (formerly the Unification Church), endures an unconscionable pretrial detention in South Korea. Arrested on September 22, 2025, amid politically charged allegations of bribery and influence-peddling—claims her defense team robustly disputes as prosecutorial overreach—she has now languished for 140 days in a stark 6-square-meter cell at the Seoul Detention Center, without a conviction or fair resolution. This week's news underscores a troubling escalation in South Korea's scrutiny of religious groups, with coordinated raids and investigations into perceived political ties, even as courts push back against excessive tactics. For instance, on January 28, 2026, the Seoul Central District Court rejected key charges against former FFWPU executive Yoon Young-ho, criticizing the special prosecutor's approach as unconstitutional and disproportionate. Similarly, a January 22, 2026, ruling dismissed bribery claims in a linked case, emphasizing that investigations must respect legal boundaries.

These developments highlight broader trends in South Korean news this week: a surge in media coverage of religious freedom violations, amplified health alarms for elderly detainees, and international condemnation at forums like the International Religious Freedom (IRF) Summit in Washington, D.C., held February 2-4, 2026. Reports from Segye Ilbo and Kukmin Ilbo on February 4 detailed Dr. Han's deteriorating condition, sparking public debate on the ethics of detaining vulnerable seniors. Meanwhile, the release of Presbyterian pastor Son Hyun-bo on February 6—after nearly five months on politically motivated charges—signals judicial fatigue with overzealous prosecutions, yet Dr. Han remains confined, underscoring selective enforcement.

South Korea's foundational Constitution is being trampled in this case:

Article 20 protects religious freedom, forbidding state meddling in spiritual affairs without dire necessity—yet probes invasively target faith-based activities.

Article 12 ensures due process and guards against arbitrary detention, mandating prompt and just trials—flouted by indefinite pretrial incarceration.

Article 11 upholds equality under the law, banning discrimination—undermined by biased pursuits of religious leaders.

Article 21 safeguards freedom of speech and assembly—stifled by suppressing calls for Dr. Han's release.

Her 14-lawyer defense, including ex-prosecutors and judges, argues that authorities rely on unreliable witness testimonies while ignoring humanitarian appeals. This mirrors rebukes in cases involving former First Lady Kim Keon-hee, exposing systemic prosecutorial abuses.

The crisis deepens with Dr. Han's frail health at 83: advanced macular degeneration causing near-blindness, acute glaucoma, diabetes, atrial fibrillation posing cardiac risks, drastic weight loss, and degraded knee cartilage forcing her to crawl for basic needs. She suffered three falls in January 2026 (January 5, 15, and 23) while navigating to the bathroom, resulting in hip and pelvic injuries, and collapsed again on January 27 in a court restroom, missing a hearing entirely. As Segye Ilbo's Jeong Seong-su reported on February 4, "Controversy Over President Hak Ja Han’s Worsening Health – Now an Explanation Is Needed," such incidents in elders signal severe vulnerabilities, where physical strain could prove fatal, especially amid cardiovascular issues. Kukmin Ilbo echoed this, noting her over-four-month detention amplifies risks. These conditions violate the United Nations' Nelson Mandela Rules, which deem detention a last resort for the elderly or infirm, advocating alternatives to protect life and dignity—standards South Korea, as a democracy, should uphold but appears to ignore.

For 65 years, since co-founding the movement in the 1950s with Rev. Sun Myung Moon, Dr. Han has tirelessly served Korea and humanity. Born amid North Korea's wartime chaos, she fueled postwar renewal through anti-communist campaigns, including 1975 rallies uniting 1.2 million for national solidarity during Cold War threats. Her initiatives supported economic giants like Samsung and Hyundai, propelling Korea's "Miracle on the Han River" from a $1.5 billion GDP in 1960 to trillions today. Diplomatically, she brokered historic dialogues: the 1991 summit with Kim Il-sung advancing reunification and the 1990 meeting with Mikhail Gorbachev easing global tensions. She established the Women's Federation for World Peace in 1992 (now spanning 157 countries) and the Universal Peace Federation in 2005 (active in over 200 nations), fostering interfaith dialogue, family values, and conflict resolution. Her principles of equity and unity aligned with leaders across eras, including subtle support for President Lee Jae-myung's ascent through shared ideals of justice and inter-Korean harmony—yet, under his administration, she faces incarceration without a full trial, a profound irony and betrayal that demands accountability.

Globally, over 100 countries grapple with more than 130 armed conflicts—from Ukraine and Palestine to Sudan, Myanmar, and Nigeria—displacing millions and pushing humanity toward catastrophe. Dr. Han's "One Family Under God" philosophy and True Love ethos offer a moral compass to transform enmity into alliance. Logically, her immediate release is essential: As a spiritual matriarch, she can lead the 2026 Global Ceasefire Movement, sanctifying the Earth and ending hostilities. Without her guidance, discord persists; with her liberation, unified, compassion-fueled efforts can eradicate war. What are we waiting for? If her vision holds truth, delay perpetuates suffering. Every human must act: Only by freeing Her Holiness Holy Mother Han to consecrate the world can ALL WARS CEASE in 2026. #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace

This week's international focus peaked at the IRF Summit on February 4, where leaders denounced crackdowns in Japan and South Korea as egregious assaults on spiritual rights, warning of a perilous global slide. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich decried Dr. Han's treatment as a "violent abuse of power," imploring South Korea to free this 83-year-old anti-communism stalwart and global advocate, deeming her confinement inhumane and contrary to liberty principles. Katrina Lantos Swett, Lantos Foundation president and summit co-chair, called it a "blanket violation" driven by propaganda to isolate the community, lamenting the "shocking" silence. Pastor Paula White, White House Faith Office adviser, lauded U.S. efforts, like Vice President J.D. Vance's push for Pastor Son's release, affirming that collective conscience breaks chains. These sentiments align with ongoing vigils in Seoul's Gwanghwamun Square and digital campaigns on X, where users urge #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace amid health fears.

We extend our deepest sorrow for this profound injustice and the suffering inflicted on a matriarch who has selflessly fostered humanity's bonds. President Lee Jae-myung, Korea's honorable citizens, and global kin, we apologize for this betrayal and present this empowering narrative: Honor elder wisdom, spiritual sovereignty, and equity—demand her swift release. Together, we heal fractures and ignite enduring peace.

Empowering Global Call to Action – Practical Steps for Every Korean and Global Citizen to Rise Immediately:

IMMEDIATE RELEASE: From Detention Cells to Global Unity: Demanding President Lee Release, Healing, and the End of Persecution for the Mother of Peace

 IMMEDIATE GLOBAL RELEASE PRESS RELEASE

February 8, 2026 | Seoul, Republic of Korea

Happy TV News Exclusive: 142nd Global Open Letter & In-Depth Journalistic Investigation – An Urgent Appeal for Humanity, Justice, and Global Harmony

To Her Holiness Dr. Hak Ja Han, the Esteemed Mother of Peace; His Excellency President Lee Jae-myung; Respected Members of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea; Valued Citizens of Korea; and All Global Citizens Among 8 Billion Committed to Lasting Unity:

From the investigative journalists at Happy TV News, in collaboration with advocates from the Global Peace Building Network (GPBNet) and the True Love Revolution, this evidence-based report draws on the latest South Korean judicial rulings, coverage from trusted outlets like The Washington Times, Segye Ilbo, Kukmin Ilbo, Reuters, Yonhap News, Chosun Ilbo, and JTBC, as well as real-time developments through February 7, 2026. It exposes the grave situation confronting an 83-year-old pioneer whose decades of selfless service to reconciliation stand in sharp contrast to her unwarranted detention.

Dr. Hak Ja Han, globally revered as the Mother of Peace and co-founder of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU), continues to face pretrial detention in South Korea. Arrested on September 22, 2025, on unsubstantiated claims—vigorously contested as excessive prosecutorial tactics and political maneuvering—she has now suffered 139 days in isolation within a cramped 6-square-meter cell at the Seoul Detention Center, with her trial ongoing but no conviction rendered. This week alone, South Korean media amplified scrutiny of probes into religious organizations like the FFWPU, including coordinated prosecutor-police efforts examining purported political links and threats to disband groups labeled "harmful to society." Yet, judicial pushback is mounting: On January 28, 2026, the Seoul Central District Court dismissed portions of charges against former FFWPU executive Yoon Young-ho, deeming the special prosecutor's scope excessive and unconstitutional. This follows a January 22, 2026, ruling rejecting bribery allegations in a related case, with judges stressing that "public interest does not excuse boundless investigative overreach," highlighting breaches of proportionality—issues glaringly evident in Dr. Han's prolonged incarceration without firm evidence.

South Korea's Constitution enshrines core safeguards that seem systematically ignored in this matter:

• Article 20 safeguards religious freedom, barring state intrusion into faith matters absent compelling need—yet investigations probe spiritual activities without warrant.
• Article 12 guarantees due process, shielding against arbitrary detention and requiring swift, equitable trials—violated by extended confinement sans verdict.
• Article 11 demands legal equality, prohibiting bias—eroded by selective targeting of faith figures.
• Article 21 protects speech and assembly freedoms—undermined by stifling advocacy for Dr. Han's release.

Her 14-member defense team, comprising former prosecutors and judges, contends authorities have overreached, leaning on unverified accomplice accounts while dismissing humanitarian pleas. This aligns with recent judicial rebukes in high-profile political cases, such as those tied to former First Lady Kim Keon-hee, revealing prosecutorial excesses.

Compounding the crisis is Dr. Han's declining health. At 83, she battles advanced macular degeneration leading to near-total blindness, acute glaucoma, diabetes, atrial fibrillation with cardiac threats, significant weight loss, and eroded leg cartilage necessitating crawling for essentials. She endured three falls in January 2026 (on the 5th, 15th, and 23rd) en route to the bathroom, causing hip and pelvic injuries, followed by a collapse on January 27, 2026, in a court restroom that forced her to skip a hearing—illustrating the potentially fatal toll of her detention. As Segye Ilbo reporter Jeong Seong-su noted in his February 4, 2026, column, "Controversy Over President Hak Ja Han’s Worsening Health – Now an Explanation Is Needed," these symptoms signal profound risks for the elderly, where falls can precipitate life-threatening complications. Drawing from Kukmin Ilbo's same-day report, Jeong emphasized that repeated incidents, combined with preexisting conditions like cardiovascular issues, transform routine detention stresses into existential dangers. This echoes the United Nations' Nelson Mandela Rules, which advocate detention as a last resort for vulnerable elders or the ill, urging alternatives to avert harm to life or dignity—principles embraced by democracies like South Korea, yet seemingly overlooked here.

For over 65 years, starting with the movement's co-founding in the 1950s alongside Rev. Sun Myung Moon, Dr. Han has profoundly uplifted Korea and the world. Born during North Korea's wartime turmoil, she spearheaded postwar revival through anti-communist initiatives, such as the 1975 rallies mobilizing 1.2 million for national cohesion amid Cold War perils. Her efforts bolstered economic titans like Samsung and Hyundai, fueling Korea's "Miracle on the Han River" and elevating GDP from $1.5 billion in 1960 to trillions today. Diplomatically, she forged milestones like the 1991 summit with Kim Il-sung for reunification and the 1990 dialogue with Gorbachev to alleviate tensions. She launched the Women's Federation for World Peace in 1992 (now in 157 countries) and the Universal Peace Federation in 2005 (active in over 200 nations), promoting interfaith harmony, family ethics, and dispute resolution. Her ethos of fairness and unity resonated with leaders across regimes, including aiding President Lee Jae-myung's rise via aligned goals of equity and inter-Korean amity—ironically, under his administration, she remains jailed without a final court decision, a stark betrayal demanding rectification.

Internationally, more than 130 armed conflicts ravage over 100 countries—from Ukraine to Sudan, Myanmar, and the Sahel—displacing millions and edging the Doomsday Clock nearer to midnight. Dr. Han's "One Family Under God" vision and True Love principles provide a ethical blueprint to shift strife to partnership. Rationally, her liberation is imperative: As a spiritual beacon, she can helm the 2026 Global Ceasefire Movement, sanctifying the planet and halting hostilities. Without her, division endures; with her freedom, collective compassion-driven endeavors can eradicate war. Why hesitate? If her insights ring true, inaction sustains agony. Every person must rise: Solely by releasing Her Holiness Holy Mother Han to consecrate all Earth can ALL WARS CEASE in 2026. #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace

This week's global spotlight intensified at the annual International Religious Freedom Summit in Washington on February 4, 2026, where leaders decried the crackdowns in Japan and South Korea as assaults on spiritual liberty, potentially heralding wider suppressions. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich labeled Dr. Han's treatment a "violent abuse of power," urging her release as inhumane for an 83-year-old anti-communism and faith champion. He highlighted her life's work against tyranny and global outreach, calling her detention antithetical to religious liberty values. Katrina Lantos Swett, Lantos Foundation president and summit co-chair, termed it a "blanket violation" fueled by propaganda to marginalize the community, decrying the "shocking" lack of outcry. Similarly, Pastor Paula White, White House Faith Office adviser, praised U.S. interventions like Vice President J.D. Vance's advocacy for released pastor Son Hyun-bo, underscoring that unified conscience can shatter chains. These voices join ongoing protests in Seoul's Gwanghwamun Square and beyond, where citizens rally for her freedom amid health alarms.

Empowering Call to Action – Practical Steps for Every Korean and Global Citizen to Act Immediately:

• Protest Peacefully Today: Per Korea's Assembly and Demonstration Act, notify officials 48–72 hours in advance for assemblies at venues like Gwanghwamun Square, Seoul City Hall, or local spots. Organize or join nonviolent marches with banners celebrating her legacy, drawing from Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.'s models. Record and livestream to boost worldwide visibility.
• Amplify Her Legacy: Dispatch press releases to media (Yonhap, Reuters, JTBC) recounting personal tales of how the Mother of Peace fostered communities—from reconstruction to interfaith bonds. Saturate social media round-the-clock with #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace #AllWarsCease2026 #TrueLoveRevolution #OneFamilyUnderGod #GPBNet, tagging officials and sharing visuals of her peace endeavors for exponential reach.
• Petition Leaders Directly: Leverage e-government platforms (epeople.go.kr, assembly.go.kr) to urge compassionate bail, medical aid, and exoneration. Send focused letters to President Lee Jae-myung, all National Assembly members, and Korean authorities—spotlighting constitutional infringements and her backing of their initiatives.
• Embrace Daily Peace Actions with GPBNet True Love Revolution: Cultivate forgiveness, fortify family connections, and advance interfaith projects. Participate online and offline for planetary ripple effects—channel sorrow into empowering routines like volunteer work, digital vigils, and international campaigns to maintain drive.

We extend our deepest regrets for this egregious injustice and the anguish imposed on an elder who has tirelessly championed humanity's cohesion. On behalf of committed allies, including GPBNet and True Love Revolution proponents, we present this essential open letter and probe: Uphold elder veneration, spiritual autonomy, and fairness—secure her prompt release. United, we can mend this rift and spark perpetual peace.

With profound respect and hope, Nicolae Cirpala President, GPBNet | Happy TV News Representative #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace #AllWarsCease2026

 IMMEDIATE GLOBAL RELEASE PRESS RELEASE

February 7, 2026 | Seoul, Republic of Korea Happy TV News Exclusive: 141st Global Open Letter & In-Depth Journalistic Investigation – An Urgent Appeal for Humanity, Justice, and Global Harmony

To Her Holiness Dr. Hak Ja Han, the Esteemed Mother of Peace; His Excellency President Lee Jae-myung; Respected Members of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea; Valued Citizens of Korea; and All Global Citizens Among 8 Billion Committed to Lasting Unity:

From the investigative journalists at Happy TV News, partnering with advocates from the Global Peace Building Network (GPBNet) and the True Love Revolution, comes this critical, evidence-driven report. Based on the most recent South Korean judicial decisions, coverage from reputable sources such as The Washington Times, Reuters, Yonhap News, Chosun Ilbo, and JTBC, alongside real-time updates as of February 7, 2026, this exposé highlights the dire circumstances facing an 83-year-old visionary whose lifelong dedication to reconciliation starkly contrasts with her ongoing, baseless incarceration.

Dr. Hak Ja Han, revered worldwide as the Mother of Peace and co-founder of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU), remains in pretrial detention in South Korea. Arrested on September 22, 2025, amid unproven allegations—which she and her supporters firmly dismiss as prosecutorial overreach and politically motivated maneuvers—she has now endured 138 days of confinement. Fresh reports confirm her continued isolation in a cramped 6-square-meter cell at the Seoul Detention Center, as her trial proceeds without a verdict.

This week, South Korean outlets have intensified coverage of escalating investigations into religious groups like the FFWPU, including joint operations by prosecutors and police probing alleged political connections and moves to dissolve organizations deemed "harmful to society." However, courts are pushing back: On January 28, 2026, the Seoul Central District Court rejected parts of charges against former FFWPU executive Yoon Young-ho, ruling the special prosecutor's investigation exceeded legal limits. This echoes a January 22, 2026, decision dismissing bribery claims against a public official for comparable excesses. Judges emphasized that "high public interest does not justify unlimited investigative expansion," pointing to violations of proportionality—principles blatantly flouted in Dr. Han's case through unwarranted broadening that infringes on constitutional rights.

South Korea's Constitution upholds fundamental protections that appear to be systematically overlooked here:

• Article 20 guarantees religious freedom, prohibiting state interference in faith affairs without overriding necessity—yet inquiries delve into spiritual practices without justification.
• Article 12 ensures due process, protecting against arbitrary detention and mandating prompt, fair trials—breached by extended incarceration without conviction.
• Article 11 mandates equality under the law, forbidding discrimination—undermined by targeted scrutiny of faith leaders.
• Article 21 protects freedom of speech and assembly—eroded by suppressing calls for Dr. Han's release.

Her defense team—a robust 14-member group including ex-prosecutors and judges—argues that authorities have overextended, relying on uncorroborated accomplice statements while rejecting compassionate appeals. This mirrors recent court criticisms in politically charged cases, such as those involving attorneys for former First Lady Kim Keon-hee, exposing prosecutorial oversteps.

Dr. Han's worsening health exacerbates the urgency. At 83, she contends with advanced macular degeneration causing near-complete blindness, severe glaucoma, diabetes, atrial fibrillation posing cardiac dangers, substantial weight loss, and damaged leg cartilage forcing her to crawl for basic needs. She experienced three falls in January 2026 (on the 5th, 15th, and 23rd) while attempting to reach the bathroom, leading to hip and pelvic pain. Another collapse occurred on January 27, 2026, in a court restroom, forcing her to miss a hearing and underscoring the life-threatening nature of her detention.

For over 65 years—beginning with co-founding the movement in the 1950s alongside Rev. Sun Myung Moon—Dr. Han has profoundly supported Korea and the global community. Born amid wartime North Korea, she drove postwar recovery through anti-communist campaigns (e.g., 1975 rallies uniting 1.2 million for national solidarity during Cold War threats), economic contributions bolstering conglomerates like Samsung and Hyundai (propelling Korea's "Miracle on the Han River"), and diplomatic breakthroughs (1991 summit with Kim Il-sung advancing reunification; 1990 meeting with Gorbachev easing geopolitical strains). She established the Women's Federation for World Peace (1992, spanning 157 countries) and the Universal Peace Federation (2005, operating in over 200 nations), fostering interfaith dialogue, family values, and conflict resolution. Her principles of equity and harmony aligned with leaders across administrations, including bolstering President Lee Jae-myung's ascent through mutual visions of justice—yet, paradoxically, his government maintains her detention without a court ruling, a profound injustice that cries out for correction.

Globally, over 130 armed conflicts afflict more than 100 countries (from Ukraine to Sudan, Myanmar, and the Sahel), displacing millions and pushing the Doomsday Clock perilously close to midnight. Dr. Han's "One Family Under God" philosophy and True Love ethos offer a moral framework to transform division into collaboration. Logically, her release is essential: As a spiritual matriarch, she can lead the 2026 Global Ceasefire Movement, consecrating the world and ending hostilities. Absent her guidance, discord persists; with her liberation, unified efforts—grounded in compassion and service—can abolish war. What delays us? If her vision holds truth, ongoing inaction perpetuates suffering. Every individual must mobilize: Only by freeing Her Holiness Holy Mother Han to sanctify all Earth can ALL WARS CEASE in 2026. #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace

Empowering Call to Action – Practical Steps for Every Korean and Global Citizen to Act Immediately:

• Protest Peacefully Today: Under Korea's Assembly and Demonstration Act, notify authorities 48–72 hours ahead for gatherings at sites like Gwanghwamun Square, Seoul City Hall, or local areas. Form or participate in nonviolent demonstrations with signs honoring her contributions, inspired by icons like Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Document and share via live streams to amplify global awareness.
• Amplify Her Legacy: Submit press releases to outlets (Yonhap, Reuters, JTBC) sharing personal stories of how the Mother of Peace has aided communities— from economic rebuilding to interfaith bridges. Flood social media 24/7 with #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace #AllWarsCease2026 #TrueLoveRevolution #OneFamilyUnderGod #GPBNet, tagging leaders and using visuals of her peace work for viral impact.
• Petition Leaders Directly: Use e-government portals (epeople.go.kr, assembly.go.kr) to demand humane bail, medical intervention, and acquittal. Send targeted letters to President Lee Jae-myung, every National Assembly member, and Korean officials—highlighting constitutional violations and her support for their causes.
• Embrace Daily Peace Actions with GPBNet True Love Revolution: Practice forgiveness, strengthen family ties, and pursue interfaith initiatives. Engage online and offline for worldwide effects—convert grief into daily, empowering habits like community service, virtual vigils, and global online campaigns to sustain momentum.

We offer our deepest apologies for this profound injustice and the pain inflicted on an elder who has selflessly served humanity's oneness. On behalf of dedicated allies, including GPBNet and True Love Revolution supporters, we issue this vital open letter and investigation: Honor elder respect, religious liberty, and equity—grant her immediate release. Together, we can heal this divide and ignite enduring peace.

With profound respect and hope, Nicolae Cirpala President, GPBNet | Happy TV News Representative #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace #AllWarsCease2026

South Korean media raises the alarm over worsening health of 82-year-old religious leader held in pre-trial detention in tiny cell since September

In recent days, a growing public debate in South Korea has centered not on the guilt or innocence of a defendant, but on a more fundamental question: how should a modern legal system treat the health and human rights of an elderly person standing trial? The case involves Hak Ja Han (한학자) – also called Mother Han – president of the Family Federation and a globally recognized religious leader, whose reported deterioration in health while in detention has raised concerns that extend beyond one individual case and into the broader values of the justice system itself.

The issue is raised 4th February by religious affairs reporter Jeon Seong-su in his religion column in the daily newspaper Segye Ilbo. The headline was “Controversy Over President Hak Ja Han’s Worsening Health – Now an Explanation Is Needed”

Jeong writes that according to reporting 4th February by Kukmin Ilbo, a Korean daily based on Christian values, Mother Han – now well into her 80s – has been detained at the Seoul Detention Center for more than four months while undergoing trial.

Recently disclosed information suggests that during her detention she has experienced multiple falls within a short period, is legally blind, and suffers from several underlying medical conditions. Her legal team has cited these circumstances in a renewed request for bail, though the court has not yet issued a final ruling.

These revelations did not emerge suddenly. For weeks, concerns about Mother Han’s physical condition had circulated quietly on social media and among legal observers. Reports of repeated falls during transfers to court hearings, difficulty standing or walking, and occasional absences from court due to health issues gradually accumulated. While such accounts were initially regarded as unconfirmed or speculative, their persistence created unease among the public – especially as they involved an elderly detainee whose trial was already well underway.

What changed the nature of the discussion was the involvement of mainstream journalism. When established media outlets like Dong-a Ilbo, MBC, JTBC News reported specific dates, circumstances, and medical context based on investigative reporting, the issue moved decisively from rumor to public accountability. At that point, the question ceased to be whether the claims were inconvenient or politically sensitive. Instead, it became whether society had received sufficient explanation about how the judicial system is balancing legal procedure against health risks and human dignity.

According to Jeong’s report, from a medical perspective, the reported symptoms are not trivial. Repeated falls in elderly individuals are widely recognized as a serious warning sign, often indicating declining physical resilience and increased vulnerability to complications. Injuries involving the pelvis or lower body can significantly impair mobility and independence, while preexisting cardiovascular conditions – such as atrial fibrillation – can turn physical stress into a potentially life-threatening situation. For defendants in such condition, the physical demands of detention and frequent court appearances may carry risks far beyond inconvenience.

This raises a difficult but unavoidable question: is continued detention the most reasonable option in such circumstances? The law permits detention when there is concern about flight risk or destruction of evidence, and courts are obligated to weigh these factors carefully. No serious observer disputes that the judiciary must apply these standards impartially. However, impartiality does not require ignoring context. When a defendant is elderly, medically fragile, and already deep into the trial process, the absence of clear public explanation can itself undermine confidence in the system.

From the front page of the UN document “Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners”, also called the Nelson Mandela Rules.

Importantly, this discussion is not about granting special treatment to a powerful figure. International human-rights norms make clear that special consideration for vulnerable individuals is not privilege, but responsibility. The United Nations’ “Nelson Mandela Rules”, which outline minimum standards for the treatment of prisoners, recommend that detention of elderly or seriously ill individuals be used only as a last resort. Where incarceration poses serious risk to life or dignity, authorities are urged to actively consider alternative measures. These principles are widely accepted among democratic and developed nations, including South Korea.

At the heart of the matter lies a deeper misunderstanding about equality before the law. Equality does not mean treating every individual identically, regardless of circumstance. Rather, substantive equality requires reasonable accommodation for differing conditions so that justice does not become mechanically cruel. Applying the same measures to a healthy adult and a medically fragile octogenarian may satisfy formal rules while violating the spirit of fairness those rules are meant to serve.

The Segye Ilbo article points out that the international dimension of this case adds further weight. Hak Ja Han (한학자) is not only a domestic figure but a religious leader known well beyond Korea’s borders. How her health and human rights are handled during trial will inevitably shape international perceptions of the Korean judiciary’s treatment of elderly and vulnerable defendants. This is not a threat or pressure on the courts, but a reality of global scrutiny in an interconnected world.

Transparency, in this context, is not a concession – it is a safeguard. Clear explanations of how medical assessments are conducted, how detention decisions are justified, and what safeguards are in place to protect health and dignity help preserve judicial authority rather than weaken it. Silence, by contrast, allows speculation to flourish and trust to erode.

Justice, after all, is not something that exists only at the moment a verdict is handed down. It is also judged by how a legal system behaves during the process itself – how it treats those who are weak, dependent, or nearing the limits of physical endurance. If an elderly defendant were to suffer irreversible harm during trial due to inadequate consideration of health risks, the damage would not be confined to one individual or one case. It would mark a failure of the system’s moral credibility, regardless of the final legal outcome.

It is possible that concerns about Hak Ja Han’s health are exaggerated, incomplete, or ultimately unfounded. If so, clear disclosure and explanation would quickly put those fears to rest. But if the concerns are real, then requesting explanation and appropriate measures is neither excessive nor political – it is a legitimate civic demand. The strength of the rule of law is revealed not in how firmly it restrains the powerful, but in how carefully it protects the vulnerable.

At minimum, a society committed to human dignity must ensure that its legal processes do not place life itself at unnecessary risk. Upholding that standard is not an obstacle to justice. It is what gives justice its meaning.

 IMMEDIATE GLOBAL RELEASE PRESS RELEASE

February 6, 2026 | Seoul, Republic of Korea Happy TV News Exclusive: 140th Global Open Letter & In-Depth Journalistic Investigation – A Plea for Justice and Peace

To Her Holiness Dr. Hak Ja Han, the Revered Mother of Peace; His Excellency President Lee Jae-myung; Honorable Members of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea; Esteemed Citizens of Korea; and Fellow Global Citizens Among 8 Billion United in the Pursuit of Enduring Harmony:

From the dedicated investigative team at Happy TV News, in collaboration with champions of the Global Peace Building Network (GPBNet) and the True Love Revolution, we present this pressing, fact-based exposé. Drawing from the latest South Korean court rulings, mainstream reports from outlets like The Washington Times, Reuters, Yonhap, Chosun Ilbo, and JTBC, as well as real-time insights as of February 6, 2026, this report unveils the grave plight of an 83-year-old pioneer whose decades of selfless service to peace stands in stark opposition to her current unwarranted imprisonment.

Dr. Hak Ja Han, globally honored as the Mother of Peace and co-founder of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU), continues to languish in pretrial detention in South Korea. Detained since September 22, 2025, on unsubstantiated accusations—which she and her advocates vehemently reject as rooted in prosecutorial excess and political agendas—she has now endured 137 days of confinement. Recent disclosures affirm her ongoing isolation in a cramped 6-square-meter cell at the Seoul Detention Center, with her trial dragging on without resolution.

This week alone, South Korean media has amplified alarms over escalating probes into religious organizations like the FFWPU, featuring coordinated efforts by prosecutors and police into claimed political entanglements and threats to dissolve entities labeled "detrimental to society." Yet, judicial pushback is evident: On January 28, 2026, the Seoul Central District Court dismissed portions of charges against former FFWPU director Yoon Young-ho, deeming the special prosecutor's probe beyond its legal bounds. This mirrors a January 22, 2026, ruling quashing bribery allegations against a public official for similar oversteps. Courts stressed that "high public interest does not warrant unbounded investigative expansion," highlighting breaches of proportionality—a principle flagrantly ignored in Dr. Han's ordeal through unwarranted scope creep that tramples constitutional safeguards.

South Korea's Constitution enshrines core protections that seem flagrantly disregarded here:

• Article 20 affirms freedom of religion, barring state meddling in faith matters absent compelling justification—yet probes target religious operations without due cause.
• Article 12 guarantees due process, shielding against arbitrary arrest and ensuring swift, equitable trials—violated by prolonged detention sans conviction.
• Article 11 demands legal equality, prohibiting bias—contravened by selective scrutiny of religious figures.
• Article 21 safeguards expression and assembly freedoms—undermined by stifling advocacy for Dr. Han.

Her legal defenders— a formidable 14-member team comprising former prosecutors and judges—assert that prosecutors have overstepped, leaning on unverified co-conspirator claims lacking independent proof, while dismissing humanitarian pleas. This pattern echoes recent judicial rebukes in politically tinged cases, including those tied to former First Lady Kim Keon-hee's lawyers, who have demonstrated prosecutorial mandate excesses.

Dr. Han's deteriorating health heightens the crisis. At 83, she battles advanced macular degeneration leading to near-total blindness, acute glaucoma, diabetes, atrial fibrillation with elevated cardiac threats, significant weight loss, and compromised leg cartilage, compelling her to crawl for essentials. She suffered three falls in January 2026 (on the 5th, 15th, and 23rd) while navigating to the bathroom, resulting in hip and pelvis agony. A fleeting medical reprieve in November 2025 permitted urgent eye surgery, but prosecutors rejected recovery extensions, insisting her state was "not grave enough" for delay—prioritizing protocol over humanity. On January 27, 2026, she collapsed again in a court restroom, missing a session, underscoring the peril of continued incarceration.

Over 65 years of unwavering commitment (from co-founding the movement in the 1950s alongside Rev. Sun Myung Moon), Dr. Han has uplifted Korea and the world. Born in war-torn North Korea, she bolstered postwar revival through anti-communist mobilizations (e.g., 1975 rallies drawing 1.2 million for national cohesion amid Cold War perils), economic boosts supporting giants like Samsung and Hyundai (fueling Korea's economic surge), and diplomatic overtures (1991 dialogue with Kim Il-sung fostering unification; 1990 with Gorbachev mitigating tensions). She launched the Women's Federation for World Peace (1992, reaching 157 nations) and the Universal Peace Federation (2005, active in over 200 countries), advancing interfaith unity, family ethics, and reconciliation. Her ethos of fairness and peace resonated with leaders across eras, including aiding President Lee Jae-myung's rise through shared ideals of equity—yet, ironically, his administration sustains her detention without a court verdict, a betrayal demanding redress.

Internationally, more than 130 armed conflicts ravage over 100 nations (spanning Ukraine, Sudan, Myanmar, and the Sahel), displacing millions and edging the Doomsday Clock toward doom.

Dr. Han's "One Family Under God" doctrine and True Love ethos provide a ethical blueprint to convert strife into solidarity. Logically, her release is pivotal: As a maternal spiritual guide, she can spearhead the 2026 Global Ceasefire Movement, sanctifying the planet and halting wars. Without her, division festers; with her freedom, collective action—rooted in forgiveness and service—can eradicate conflict. What holds us back? If her vision rings true, daily inaction fuels agony. Every person must rise: Her liberation alone can holify Earth, ensuring ALL WARS CEASE in 2026.

Immediate Call to Action – Practical, Empowering Steps for Every Korean and Global Citizen:

• Protest Peacefully Today: Per Korea's Assembly and Demonstration Act, alert authorities 48–72 hours in advance for assemblies at Gwanghwamun Square, Seoul City Hall, or regional venues. Organize or join nonviolent rallies with banners celebrating her legacy, emulating Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.
• Amplify Her Impact: Dispatch press releases to media (Yonhap, Reuters, JTBC) recounting personal tales of how the Mother of Peace supported communities. Dominate social media round-the-clock with #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace #AllWarsCease2026 #TrueLoveRevolution #OneFamilyUnderGod.
• Petition Powerholders: Leverage e-government platforms (epeople.go.kr, assembly.go.kr) to urge compassionate bail, medical relief, and exoneration. Direct appeals to President Lee Jae-myung, all National Assembly members, and Korean leaders—insist on constitutional fidelity.
• Daily Peace Practices via GPBNet True Love Revolution: Embrace forgiveness, nurture family bonds, and engage in interfaith outreach. Contribute online and offline for worldwide ripple effects—transform sorrow into steadfast, empowering deeds.

Representing fervent supporters, including GPBNet and True Love Revolution allies, we deliver this urgent open letter and probe: Uphold reverence for elders, religious liberty, and justice—secure her immediate release. United, we can mend this rift and spark eternal peace.

With utmost reverence and optimism, Nicolae Cirpala President, GPBNet | Happy TV News Representative

MOTHER OF PEACE IN PERIL, GLOBAL WARS RAGE ON: PRESIDENT LEE - Free the Mother of Peace – Honor 65 Years of Service to Korea & World - 136 Days of Injustice Prosecutorial Overreach Exposed – Courts Nonsense Check While Elder Suffers- Blindness, Falls, Cardiac Risks – Pretrial Detention Becomes Life Threat

 IMMEDIATE GLOBAL RELEASE PR

February 5, 2026 | Seoul, Republic of Korea Happy TV News Exclusive: 139th Global Open Letter & In-Depth Journalistic Investigation

To Her Holiness Dr. Hak Ja Han, the Mother of Peace; His Excellency President Lee Jae-myung; Honorable Members of the National Assembly; Citizens of Korea; and Fellow Global Citizens

Dr. Hak Ja Han, widely revered as the Mother of Peace and co-founder of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU), remains in pretrial detention in South Korea as of early February 2026. She was arrested on September 22, 2025, on baseless charges —allegations she and her supporters firmly deny, attributing them to prosecutorial overreach and political motivations. Since May 2025, prosecutors have conducted numerous raids and have repeatedly attempted to find ways to keep the Mother of Peace, Dr. Hak Ja Han, in prison. Despite these extensive efforts, no concrete evidence of any guilt on her part has been uncovered. Nevertheless, authorities continue trying to justify her prolonged and allegedly unlawful detention.

No final conviction has been issued, yet she has endured extended pretrial confinement.

As of February 5, 2026, this marks 136 days in detention. Recent reports confirm her ongoing incarceration in a small cell at the Seoul Detention Center, with her trial proceeding but no resolution.

This week, South Korean news highlights escalating scrutiny of religious groups like the FFWPU, including joint prosecution-police investigations into alleged political collusion and potential dissolution of foundations deemed "harmful to society". Courts have shown some pushback against prosecutorial excess in related cases (e.g., dismissals of certain charges against former church official Yoon Young-ho on January 28, 2026, for exceeding the special prosecutor's mandate, and similar rulings on January 22, 2026). These decisions underscore judicial checks on overreach, with courts emphasizing proportionality and statutory limits—principles that have been violated in Dr. Han's case through expanded probes beyond original scopes, that infringing on constitutional protections.

Few South Korea's Constitution safeguards fundamental rights that appear compromised here:

• Article 20 guarantees freedom of religion, prohibiting state interference in religious affairs unless clearly justified.
• Article 12 ensures due process, protection from arbitrary detention, and the right to a prompt, fair trial.
• Article 11 mandates equality before the law, barring discrimination.
• Article 21 protects freedom of expression and assembly.

Critics, including her defense team (14 lawyers, including ex-prosecutors and judges), contend prosecutors have exceeded their mandate, relying heavily on uncorroborated co-conspirator testimony without independent evidence, while ignoring humanitarian factors. This echoes recent court rejections of similar overreach in politically charged probes.

Dr. Han's health crisis intensifies the urgency. At 83 (often reported as 82 in some contexts due to Korean age reckoning), she suffers from advanced macular degeneration (near-total blindness), severe glaucoma, diabetes, atrial fibrillation (with cardiac risks), drastic weight loss, and damaged leg cartilage, forcing her to crawl for basic needs. She fell three times in January 2026 while attempting to use the bathroom (January 5, 15, and 23), causing hip and pelvis pain. A brief medical release in November 2025 allowed emergency eye surgery, but post-operative recovery extension was denied, leading to immediate re-detention. Her 14-lawyer team argues detention risks irreversible deterioration, poses no flight risk (an elderly religious leader who appeared voluntarily), and yields no new evidence after massive raids. Yet prosecutors deemed her condition "not serious enough" for further postponement, prioritizing procedural compliance over human welfare.

Over her 65+ years of leadership (since co-founding the movement in the 1950s with Rev. Sun Myung Moon), Dr. Han has dedicated herself to Korea's upliftment and global peace. Born amid wartime devastation in North Korea, she supported postwar recovery through anti-communism efforts (e.g., 1975 rallies mobilizing 1.2 million for national unity during Cold War threats), economic initiatives aiding conglomerates like Samsung and Hyundai (contributing to Korea's economic miracle), and diplomatic bridges (1991 meeting with Kim Il-sung advancing unification talks; 1990 engagement with Gorbachev easing tensions). She founded global organizations like the Women's Federation for World Peace (1992, spanning 157 nations) and the Universal Peace Federation (2005, in over 200 countries), promoting interfaith harmony, family values, and reconciliation. Her principles of equity and peace aligned with leaders across administrations, including support for unity and fairness echoing current President Lee Jae-myung's agenda—yet under his administration, she faces this detention without conviction, a profound irony.

Globally, over 130 armed conflicts rage across more than 100 countries (from Ukraine and Sudan to Myanmar and the Sahel), displacing millions and pushing the Doomsday Clock dangerously close to catastrophe. Dr. Han's philosophy of "One Family Under God" and True Love offers a moral path to transform division into unity. Only her release could catalyze the 2026 Global Ceasefire Movement, sanctifying Earth through maternal spiritual guidance and ending wars—logically, her continued incarceration stifles this potential at humanity's peril.

What are we waiting for? If her vision holds truth, inaction prolongs suffering. Every human being must act immediately: Release the Mother of Peace to holify Earth—ALL WARS CEASE 2026.

Immediate Call to Action – Practical Steps for Every Korean and Global Citizen:

• Protest Peacefully Today: Under Korea's Assembly and Demonstration Act, notify authorities 48–72 hours ahead for gatherings at Gwanghwamun Square, Seoul City Hall, or local sites. Join or organize rallies with signs honoring her legacy—inspired by nonviolent leaders like Gandhi and MLK.
• Amplify the Message: Send press releases to outlets (Yonhap, Reuters, JTBC) sharing personal stories of how the Mother of Peace aided communities. Flood social media 24/7 with #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace #AllWarsCease2026 #TrueLoveRevolution #OneFamilyUnderGod.
• Petition Leaders: Use e-government portals (epeople.go.kr, assembly.go.kr) to demand compassionate release, bail, urgent medical care, and acquittal. Target President Lee Jae-myung, National Assembly members, and all Korean leaders—urge adherence to constitutional rights.
• Daily Peace Actions via GPBNet True Love Revolution: Live forgiveness, family unity, and interfaith service. Engage online/offline for global impact—turn regret into resolve through consistent, empowered steps.

We profoundly apologize for this injustice and the suffering inflicted on an elder dedicated to humanity's harmony. On behalf of committed advocates, including GPBNet and True Love Revolution supporters, we issue this urgent open letter and investigative report: Honor elder respect, religious freedom, and due process—grant immediate release. Together, we can heal this divide and ignite lasting peace.

With deepest respect and hope, Nicolae Cirpala President, GPBNet | Happy TV News Representative

VITAL PRESS RELEASE: RELEASE FOR HUMANITY – MOTHER OF PEACE IN PERIL – HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION – EMPOWERING JOURNALISTIC NARRATIVE

 IMMEDIATE RELEASE: URGENT GLOBAL INVESTIGATIVE REPORT

February 4, 2026 | Seoul, Republic of Korea Happy TV News Exclusive: 138th Global Open Letter & In-Depth Journalistic Investigation

To Her Holiness Dr. Hak Ja Han, the Esteemed Mother of Peace; His Excellency President Lee Jae-myung; Honorable Members of the National Assembly; Citizens of Korea; and Fellow Global Citizens of 8 Billion Souls United in the Quest for Lasting Peace

From the committed investigative journalists at Happy TV News, in partnership with advocates from the Global Peace Building Network (GPBNet) and the True Love Revolution, we deliver this urgent, evidence-driven report. Sourced from recent South Korean judicial proceedings, mainstream outlets like Reuters, Yonhap, Chosun Ilbo, and JTBC, along with real-time updates as of February 4, 2026 (10:05 AM), this analysis exposes the dire circumstances of an 83-year-old visionary whose lifelong dedication to harmony starkly contrasts her current unjust confinement.

Current Crisis: 135 Days in Harsh Pretrial Detention – Health on the Brink

As of February 4, 2026, Dr. Hak Ja Han—globally revered as the Mother of Peace and co-founder of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU, formerly the Unification Church)—has suffered 136 days in pretrial detention since her arrest on September 22, 2025. This count includes all calendar days from arrest to today, amid ongoing trials without a conviction. Recent accounts from court observers and community reports paint a harrowing picture of her declining health. On January 27, 2026, during a session at Seoul Central District Court, she collapsed in the restroom—her second fall in days—aggravated by advanced macular degeneration causing near-total blindness, severe glaucoma, diabetes, atrial fibrillation posing high cardiac risks, drastic weight loss, damaged leg cartilage, and mobility so impaired she must crawl for basic needs like using the toilet. Following heart surgery in October 2025, essential follow-up care has been denied repeatedly, intensifying humanitarian alarms in her cramped 6-square-meter cell, devoid of proper bedding, a chair, or natural light.

A brief medical release in November 2025 for glaucoma treatment proved fleeting; she was swiftly returned to custody. Bail applications persist against prosecutorial resistance, with courts citing flight risk and evidence tampering concerns, despite affidavits from January 13–15, 2026, affirming her non-involvement in alleged 2022 political donations. On January 23, 2026, raids targeted seven FFWPU sites, including Cheon Jeong Gung, probing "illegal donations" but yielding no direct ties to Dr. Han. A 47-member task force continues to pursue FFWPU and groups like Shincheonji for potential dissolution over claims of "societal harm," a move decried as biased and politically motivated.

This week's developments underscore the urgency: Eyewitnesses report her "extremely delicate" state, with falls causing hip and pelvis pain, and denied medical interventions heightening risks. International outcry grows, including U.S. Vice President JD Vance's January 23, 2026, concerns voiced to Prime Minister Kim Min-seok, warning of strained U.S.-Korea relations. Figures like Donald Trump, Mike Pompeo, and Newt Gingrich have labeled this "oppression" and a "betrayal" of shared values. Protests persisted at Seoul City Hall and Gwanghwamun Square from January 16–24, 2026, demanding her release.

A 65-Year Odyssey of Service: Uplifting Korea, Its Leaders, and Humanity

Born in wartime North Korea amid devastation, Dr. Han co-founded the movement in 1954, marrying Rev. Sun Myung Moon in 1960 and channeling efforts into Korea's postwar rebirth. Her contributions span decades:

• In 1975, massive anti-communism rallies drew 1.2 million participants, bolstering national unity during Cold War threats.
• Church-linked initiatives supported economic powerhouses like Samsung and Hyundai, fueling Korea's GDP leap from $1.5 billion in 1960 to trillions today.
• Diplomatic breakthroughs: A 1991 summit with North Korea's Kim Il-sung advanced unification dialogue; a 1990 engagement with Mikhail Gorbachev eased Cold War frictions.
• Global initiatives: Founding the Women's Federation for World Peace in 1992 across 157 nations; the Universal Peace Federation in 2005 spanning 200+ countries; the Little Angels cultural diplomacy troupe; and Peace Road projects uniting world leaders.
• Acclaim from leaders like Donald Trump in 2019 for alliances promoting equity and inter-Korean peace—principles mirroring President Lee Jae-myung's agenda of fairness and reconciliation.

Dr. Han's support extended to Korean presidents, aiding recovery and unity efforts. Ironically, under President Lee's administration—which her values helped inspire—she faces detention without trial, highlighting a tragic contradiction. She reportedly bolstered his path to victory through aligned peace advocacy, yet now endures incarceration absent due process, a stark betrayal of her 65 years uplifting Koreans.

Wars Ravage the Globe: Her Release Could Ignite True Transformation

Today, over 130 armed conflicts engulf more than 100 nations, displacing millions and edging the Doomsday Clock perilously close to midnight. From Ukraine and Sudan to Myanmar and the Sahel, treaties crumble amid nuclear threats. Half the world grapples with war's shadow, but Dr. Han's True Love philosophy—envisioning "One Family Under God"—offers a moral compass to transmute division into solidarity. If freed, her spiritual leadership could catalyze a 2026 global ceasefire, redirecting rivalry toward unity. What are we waiting for? If this vision holds truth, every day demands action: Release the Mother of Peace to sanctify Earth, ending wars through divine maternal guidance. Logically, her incarceration stifles this potential—practical steps like protests and advocacy can unlock it, fostering daily peace-building worldwide.

Empowered Call to Action: Practical Steps Every Citizen Can Take Now

This is your personal empowerment narrative: One woman's ordeal reflects our shared global strife, but her freedom empowers us all to rise. President Lee Jae-myung: Honor your commitments to equity, elder respect, and unity—grant compassionate release, bail, or acquittal, upholding Korea's Constitution (Articles 20 on religious freedom, 12 on due process, 11 on equality). Heal this divide before it's irreversible.

To every Korean and global citizen: Act immediately—protest today, for time is critical.

• Organize Peaceful Protests Now: Under the Assembly Act, notify authorities 48–72 hours in advance for gatherings at Gwanghwamun Square or local equivalents. Carry signs celebrating her legacy, drawing from nonviolent icons like Gandhi and MLK. Join ongoing rallies amplified this week.
• Amplify Through Press and Media: Draft and send press releases highlighting how the Mother of Peace has aided your communities—email to outlets like Yonhap or Reuters. Use #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace and #Peace2026 to flood social media 24/7.
• Send Letters and Petitions: Via epeople.go.kr or assembly.go.kr, demand urgent medical care and release. Target every Korean leader, parliament member, and President Lee through e-government portals. Globally, petition the UN and world leaders for intervention.
• Daily Peace Actions with GPBNet True Love Revolution: Forgive, unite families, engage in interfaith service—live this revolution online and offline for global impact. Stand today; act daily to spark the 2026 movement where all wars cease.

Transform regret into resolve. We apologize profoundly for this injustice, but together, we can end it.
