March 9, 2026 | Seoul, Republic of Korea
Global Broadcast for Immediate Release: Urgent Open Letter to Her Holiness Holy Mother Han, the Mother of Peace; His Excellency President Lee Jae-myung; Honorable Members of the National Assembly; Cherished Citizens of the Republic of Korea; and 8 Billion Global Kin
President Lee Jae-myung, esteemed Korean citizens, and all compassionate souls worldwide:
In a collective voice of deep regret, we declare: We are profoundly sorry. Sorry that an 83-year-old icon of harmony, who devoted 65 years to rebuilding Korea from post-war devastation, endures unjust pretrial detention without a conviction. Sorry that the nation she propelled to international stature now confines her as her health deteriorates. This contradicts Korea's heritage of justice and compassion. It must stop now.
This week's developments demand action. On March 6, at Seoul Central District Court, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon—known globally as Holy Mother Han—exited the session early due to severe health complications, highlighting the harsh impact of her incarceration. Demonstrations intensified in Gwanghwamun Square, amplified by surging global social media campaigns under #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace, with daily livestreams and shares. Interfaith leaders continued petitions from February for her compassionate release, while the 2026 International Religious Freedom Summit in Washington denounced religious persecution across Asia. On March 3, Japan's high court upheld the dissolution of a church affiliate, escalating international concerns over regional suppressions. Waves of open letters via epeople.go.kr pressed Korean authorities to free the Mother of Peace.
As of March 9, 2026, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon has endured 169 days in pretrial detention—arrested on September 22, 2025, without trial. She has suffered three falls in January, glaucoma surgery in November, heart arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, macular degeneration, significant weight loss, and a severe nosebleed on February 22 with delayed medical aid. Pain compels her to crawl to the bathroom; the facility breaches UN standards for elderly detainees. This is not justice—it's a blemish on Korea's democratic principles.
For 65 years, she has been Korea's steadfast pillar of progress. Born in North Korea amid turmoil, she co-founded the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification in the 1950s alongside Rev. Sun Myung Moon. In 1975, she rallied 1.2 million against communism, fortifying national resilience. She facilitated expansions for Samsung and Hyundai, igniting the "Miracle on the Han River," transforming GDP from $1.5 billion in 1960 to trillions today. Her 1990 encounter with Gorbachev and 1991 talks with Kim Il-sung sparked paths to reconciliation and denuclearization. She established the Women's Federation for World Peace in 1992 (now spanning 157 nations) and the Universal Peace Federation in 2005 (operating in over 200 countries), fostering interfaith solidarity and family values. Every Korean president, across parties, benefited from her tireless push for unity and ethics—including President Lee's 2025 victory, rooted in the stable groundwork she helped forge. Yet, the administration she aided now imprisons her without due process—a heartbreaking irony.
Her empowering true story inspires billions: Amid Korean War hardships and Rev. Moon's imprisonment, they chose love over resentment. In 1991, facing North Korea's scars, she declared: "Treating others as enemies blocks mercy. A mother's infinite love builds it. I embraced harmony over vengeance." This compassion reshaped history, nurturing inter-Korean ties and global peace. Freed, it can heal again.
Today, over 130 armed conflicts rage in more than 30 countries—escalating twofold in 15 years, displacing millions in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, Myanmar, Nigeria, and beyond. What are you waiting for? If this turmoil is real—and it is—what will you do daily until her freedom?
Logically and practically: Her immediate, unconditional release ignites the 2026 Global Ceasefire. As the embodiment of True Love and Mother of Peace, she alone holds the sacred calling to sanctify Earth—cleansing nations through forgiveness, family renewal, and spiritual unity. Her legacy dissolved divides; her liberation unleashes the True Love Revolution, eradicating war's roots like hatred and division. Detain her, and strife persists. Free her, and 2026 halts all wars.

ruary 25–March 3, 2026) heightened alarms over judicial excess, protections for elderly detainees, and religious liberties in Dr. Han's case. On February 22, the Seoul Central District Court denied her request to extend a temporary medical suspension, returning her to detention despite severe health declines, including three falls in January 2026 (January 5, 15, 23) causing hip and pelvic injuries, a January 27 courtroom collapse, and a February 22 nosebleed emergency without immediate aid. Social media exploded with #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace campaigns, spotlighting her 164-day incarceration as of March 4, 2026 (excluding brief medical leaves), repeated bail rejections amid deteriorating conditions, and parallels to historical persecutions. Globally, the 2026 International Religious Freedom Summit in Washington, D.C., escalated demands for her release, with figures like former U.S. Speaker Newt Gingrich and Bishop Luonne Rouse labeling it religious persecution. Protests intensified in New York and Seoul's Gwanghwamun Square, with digital petitions and vigils overshadowing economic positives like stock surges but exposing arbitrary detentions. Worldwide, 2026 data from ACLED, Crisis Group, and ICRC indicate over 130 active conflicts—doubled in 15 years—affecting more than 100 nations with 50+ major wars displacing millions in Ukraine, Sudan, Gaza, Myanmar, Nigeria, and beyond.
While traditional diplomacy falters, the GPBNet Destiny Partnership is actively mobilizing a daily "True Love Revolution" to solve these crises and establish ultimate global peace within this year.
