Press Release: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Open Letter to President Lee Jae-myung, Republic of Korea
From Nicolae Cirpala, President, Global Peace Building Network (GPBNet) Happy TV News | +79056333606
🇰🇷 Korea at a Crossroads: Democracy or Suppression?
To His Excellency, President Lee Jae-myung,
South Korea, once a shining example of democratic resilience and religious pluralism in East Asia, now faces a reckoning. Since your inauguration in June 2025, a wave of state-sponsored religious persecution has swept the nation—targeting faith communities, silencing dissent, and undermining Korea’s global reputation as a defender of human rights.
Investigative reports from Bitter Winter, Foref Europe, Chosun Ilbo, and Firstpost reveal a disturbing pattern: raids on churches, arrests of religious leaders, and proposals for “cult dissolution” laws that echo authoritarian regimes and secret cooperation of authorities with communists.
🚨 The Arrest of Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon: A Global Flashpoint
On September 23, 2025, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon—83-year-old co-founder of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU)—was arrested and interrogated with false accusations for over ten hours while recovering from heart surgery. She remains imprisoned at Seoul Detention Center, accused of embezzlement and political fund violations. Legal experts and human rights advocates call the charges “implausible” and “politically motivated”.
Her arrest followed a series of aggressive raids:
July 18: Unification Church headquarters stormed by riot police.
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 actions are not isolated—they form a coordinated campaign to dismantle Korea’s religious infrastructure, particularly targeting conservative, pro-American, and anti-communist groups.
🌍 The Family Federation: A Lifeline of Service to Korea and the World
Since its founding in 1954, the Family Federation has been a pillar of humanitarian aid, education, and peacebuilding. Under the leadership of Rev. Sun Myung Moon and Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, the movement has:
🏥 Built hospitals, schools, and universities across Korea and abroad.
🍱 Operated daily food distribution and disaster relief programs in over 150 countries.
🕊️ Hosted interfaith summits at the UN, U.S. Capitol, and Kremlin—bridging divides between Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, and Hindus.
🇰🇷 Facilitated cultural exchanges and humanitarian aid between North and South Korea, including medical missions and youth peace camps.
📚 Supported Korean students through scholarships, mentorship, and global leadership training.
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: Leaders Speak Out
The international community is sounding the 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 your former civil affairs chief, Oh Kwang-soo, has joined Dr. Han’s legal team—an extraordinary act of conscience from within your own administration.
📢 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.
With urgent hope and unwavering respect, Nicolae Cirpala President, Global Peace Building Network (GPBNet) Happy TV News | +79056333606
