FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE A Global Cry for Justice: Open Letter to President Lee Jae-myung, Republic of Korea
To His Excellency, President Lee Jae-myung,
The world watches Korea with growing concern—not in admiration, but in anguish. Your administration’s intensifying crackdown on religious freedom and political dissent has ignited a firestorm of global outrage. The arrest of Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, revered by millions as “True Mother,” marks a perilous turning point in Korea’s democratic legacy.
On September 23, 2025, Dr. Han—an 83-year-old spiritual leader recovering from a recent heart procedure—was detained by the Special Prosecutor’s Office and interrogated for nearly ten hours. She now languishes in the Seoul Detention Center, accused of embezzlement and violations of the Political Funds and Anti-Graft Acts. Prosecutors claim she poses a “risk of tampering with evidence,” yet the charges hinge on vague allegations involving luxury gifts allegedly sent to former First Lady Kim Keon Hee
.
These accusations are widely viewed as politically motivated. Dr. Han has denied all wrongdoing, asking simply, “Why would I have done that?”. The Unification Church, which she leads, has condemned the arrest as “unjust persecution of a global religious leader” and vowed full cooperation with the investigation
.
Dr. Han’s detention has triggered an international outcry. Former U.S. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich called the arrest “suffocating political and religious suppression,” warning that the treatment of Dr. Han “risks her death.” President Donald Trump, ahead of your White House visit, posted:
“WHAT IS GOING ON IN SOUTH KOREA? Seems like a Purge or Revolution. We can’t have that and do business there.”
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo echoed these concerns, calling the crackdown a betrayal of democratic principles.
This is not an isolated case. The July 18 raid on the Unification Church, the targeting of Yoido Full Gospel Church, and the persecution of Pastor Jun Kwang-hoon of Sarang Jeil Church reveal a sweeping campaign against conservative religious voices. These actions mirror authoritarian tactics and threaten the moral foundation of Korea’s democracy.
Dr. Han is not a politician. She is a spiritual emissary of peace, continuing the legacy of her late husband, Rev. Sun Myung Moon, founder of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification. Since 1954, the Federation has helped rebuild Korea—establishing schools, universities, media outlets (including The Washington Times), and peace initiatives in over 150 nations.
Together, Rev. Moon and Dr. Han have met with global leaders—from Kim Il Sung to Hun Sen, Macky Sall, and even delivered interfaith lectures at the Kremlin. Their diplomacy has elevated Korea’s global stature and fostered reconciliation across religious and national divides. Their mission is one of unity, healing, and moral revival.
To persecute such figures is not only unjust—it is self-destructive.
President Lee, your administration is wielding the rod of suppression against Korea’s faithful. But as Scripture warns, “With the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” The suffering inflicted upon Korea’s spiritual community will inevitably return to its source. You have the power to break this cycle—not through force, but through liberation.
Liberate Dr. Han. Liberate the Korean people. Liberate yourself.
Korea stands at a prophetic crossroads. Just as the Israelites once rejected their Messiah and bore the burden for generations, so too does Korea risk spiritual decline by turning away from the representative of the Second Coming. Dr. Han’s mission is not political—it is divine. To imprison her is to imprison Korea’s destiny.
Today, hundreds gather outside the Seoul Detention Center, praying fervently for Dr. Han’s release. Around the world, mass rallies are forming. Leaders from every continent are demanding justice. The internet records everything. Every act of suppression will be etched into history. But so too can acts of courage and redemption.
President Lee, you must choose your legacy. Will you be remembered as the leader who silenced Korea’s spiritual voice—or the one who restored it?
We await your response. The world awaits your courage.
