📢 PRESS RELEASE: FOR IMMEDIATE GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION
Open Letter to President Lee Jae-myung, Republic of Korea
🇰🇷 Korea at a Crossroads: Democracy or Suppression?
To His Excellency, President Lee Jae-myung,
South Korea, long hailed as a beacon of democracy and religious pluralism in East Asia, now stands at a perilous juncture. Since your inauguration in June 2025, a disturbing wave of state-sponsored religious repression has swept the nation, threatening the very foundations of Korea’s democratic identity and global reputation.
Investigative reports from Bitter Winter, FOREF Europe, Chosun Ilbo, Firstpost, and Channel News Asia reveal a coordinated campaign of intimidation:
Raids on religious institutions
Arbitrary arrests of faith leaders
Legislative proposals for “cult dissolution” laws that echo authoritarian regimes
Alleged cooperation between prosecutors and political factions hostile to religious freedom
🚨 The Arrest of Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon: A Global Flashpoint
On September 23, 2025, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon—known to millions as Holy Mother Han, co-founder of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU)—was arrested and remanded to Seoul Detention Center. This occurred mere weeks after undergoing heart surgery. She was interrogated for over ten hours and falsely accused of bribery and political fund violations, charges widely condemned as politically motivated and implausible.
Her arrest followed a series of escalating actions:
July 18: Riot police stormed Unification Church headquarters.
August: Yoido Full Gospel Church and Far East Broadcasting targeted.
September: Pastor Jun Kwang-hoon and Sarang Jeil Church investigated for alleged political mobilization.
These events form a pattern of suppression targeting conservative, pro-American, and anti-communist religious groups.
🌍 The Family Federation: A Lifeline of Service to Korea and the World
Founded in 1954 by Rev. Sun Myung Moon and Dr. Han, the Family Federation has been a cornerstone of humanitarian service, interfaith dialogue, and peacebuilding. Its legacy includes:
🏥 Building hospitals, schools, and universities across Korea, Japan, the U.S., and Africa
🍲 Operating food distribution and disaster relief programs in over 150 countries
🕊️ Hosting interfaith summits at the UN, U.S. Capitol, and Kremlin, bridging divides among Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, and Hindus
🤝 Facilitating humanitarian aid between North and South Korea, including medical missions and youth peace camps
🎓 Supporting Korean students through scholarships, mentorship, and global leadership academies
Even today, while Dr. Han is unjustly detained, Family Federation volunteers continue serving in refugee camps, orphanages, and inner cities—from Nairobi to New Delhi, São Paulo to Seoul.
🌐 Global Condemnation: Voices of Conscience
The international community has responded with alarm:
President Donald Trump: “WHAT IS GOING ON IN SOUTH KOREA? Seems like a Purge or Revolution. We can’t have that and do business there.”
Mike Pompeo, former U.S. Secretary of State: “Deeply troubling… a betrayal of democratic principles.”
Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House: “Suffocating political and religious suppression.”
Dr. Massimo Introvigne, FOREF Europe: “This is not anti-corruption—it is a purge. A religiocide disguised as justice.”
Even Oh Kwang-soo, your former civil affairs chief, has joined Dr. Han’s legal team—an extraordinary act of conscience from within your own administration.
📜 Historical Contributions of Dr. Han Hak Ja
Dr. Han’s leadership spans decades:
Founder of the Women’s Federation for World Peace (1992), advocating for peace and women’s empowerment globally
Organizer of mass interfaith weddings, promoting unity across cultures
Advocate for spiritual diplomacy, meeting with heads of state and religious leaders worldwide
Patron of peace journalism, supporting media outlets that promote reconciliation and truth
Her arrest not only violates her human rights—it undermines Korea’s moral standing in the world.
🕊️ A Call to Conscience
President Lee, you were elected to uplift the Korean people—not to silence their faith. The imprisonment of Dr. Han, the erosion of religious freedom, and the rollback of humanitarian aid betray the ideals Korea once championed.
Today, thousands rally in Seoul. Millions pray worldwide. Every act of suppression is recorded. Every act of courage will be remembered.
You have the power to change course:
✊ Release Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon—Holy Mother Han
🛡️ Restore Korea’s spiritual dignity
🕊️ Reclaim your legacy as a leader of peace, not persecution
Will history remember you as the president who silenced Korea’s prophets—or the one who set them free?
The world awaits your answer.
