For Immediate Release 🔥 URGENT GLOBAL EMERGENCY PRESS RELEASE AND OPEN LETTER 🔥
November 1, 2025 | Seoul, Republic of Korea
Your Holiness Holy Mother Han,
Excellency President Lee Jae-myung,
Honorable Citizens of the Republic of Korea,
and Fellow Global Citizens of Conscience,
In this defining hour for humanity's collective future, where the choices of leaders reverberate across generations, South Korea stands at a crossroads of destiny: Will it perpetuate a baseless, politically motivated assault on religious freedom, echoing the tragic rejection of Jesus Christ—the Only Begotten Son—which plunged the chosen Israelites into exile, dispersion, and 2 millennia of anguish? Or will it embrace justice by immediately and unconditionally releasing the innocent Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon? This 83-year-old Only Begotten Daughter, revered as the Mother of Peace, devoted wife of the Lord of the Second Advent Rev. Sun Myung Moon, and co-founder of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU, formerly the Unification Church), suffers unlawful detention on fabricated charges that undermine the foundations of justice, compassion, divine providence, and Korea's hard-won democracy.
President Lee Jae-myung, your progressive leadership—rooted in equity, anti-corruption drives, expanded social welfare, gender equality advocacy, national reconciliation efforts, enhanced protections for North Korean human rights, and commitments to elderly care—clashes sharply with this grave injustice. By ordering Dr. Moon's immediate release, you would reaffirm your core principles, avert impending spiritual, economic, and diplomatic catastrophes, heal societal divisions, and invoke divine blessings upon Korea. This decisive action would position South Korea as the spiritual hub of the world—the "Second Israel" as God's chosen nation—cement your legacy as a champion of elders, women, and minorities, bridge political divides, protect vital alliances (such as the $150+ billion U.S.-Korea trade partnership), and fulfill your pledges to human rights and inclusive prosperity, garnering steadfast loyalty from your supporters and international praise.
Will the international community repeat the indifference of Jesus' era, perpetuating cycles of conflict that have scarred 98 nations over two centuries, or rally as an unbreakable alliance to demand Dr. Moon's freedom, recognize Korea as humanity's spiritual heart, and partner with God's Only Begotten Daughter to realize Cheon Il Guk—the Heavenly Kingdom on Earth? October 2025 has amplified a worldwide clarion call: the supreme chance to overcome fragmentation and achieve divine fulfillment through Holy Mother Hak Ja Han Moon, the unique sanctifier who purifies every soul with the Highest God’s direct Holiness, forging all 8 billion+ of God’s children into one true family under Heavenly Parents.
As she proclaimed on April 13, 2025: "Heavenly Parent, the Creator and Sovereign Master of the universe, today we have finally arrived at this sacred day, after You patiently endured and waited for 6,000 biblical years following the Fall. Heavenly Parent, we offer You our deepest gratitude and our most humble apologies. Now, You are truly the rightful Master of this earth. Our second, third, and fourth generations—the Pure Water, born from countless blessed families who exist solely because of True Parents—are venturing forth to the world to disseminate the vision of Your earthly kingdom across all lands. From this day onward, Heavenly Parent, please embrace and love Your children with all Your heart! This world will now progressively align under Your dominion, and a world of one family of humankind attending the Heavenly Parent with true love will assuredly unfold. In the name of Holy Mother Hak Ja Han Moon, I proclaim to the world that the gates of Heaven, the gates of God’s kingdom of Cheon Il Guk, are now wide open."
Her teachings, anchored in God’s Divine Principles and The Epic History of the Chosen Han People of Korea, mirror Jesus' blueprint for brotherhood and democracy—ideals that formed the bedrock of the U.S. Constitution and have been emulated globally to construct a world of fraternal democracy. As the Only Begotten Daughter, parallel to Jesus as the Only Begotten Son, she steers humanity toward instant salvation, inaugurating the Ultimate Era of Peace and Harmony, realizing scriptural prophecies by wiping away every tear. We, all 8 billion+ humans, convey profound remorse for this ordeal, repenting deeply, and vow to demonstrate we are no longer “sons of vipers” but authentic God's Children: ceasing conflicts, transforming weapons into plowshares from this very day, eradicating all sins—including extramarital love, corruption, theft, and wars of killing—and rising in the True Love Revolution. The Heavenly Kingdom has flourished in its 13th year through God's grace and Holy Mother's guidance; it beckons every soul, from ordinary citizens to presidents, to enter and awaken daily to this transformative True Love Revolution.
South Korea, celebrated as a democratic paragon that ascended from the Korean War's ashes—from a meager $1.5 billion GDP in 1960 to over $1.7 trillion today, spawning titans like Samsung and Hyundai, and enchanting billions through K-pop, K-dramas, and innovation—now teeters on the brink of eternal disgrace via one of contemporary democracy's most egregious religious persecutions. At its epicenter is Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, the 83-year-old great-grandmother and FFWPU co-founder, venerated by millions across 194 nations as the “Mother of Peace.” Her six-decade odyssey—promoting interfaith dialogue benefiting billions, channeling trillions in humanitarian aid to combat poverty and disasters, dissolving Cold War barriers through summits, empowering women via initiatives elevating millions from destitution, spearheading environmental campaigns like planting millions of hectares of trees, and cultivating youth as global peacemakers through exchanges involving over 1 million participants—has reshaped societies worldwide. Yet, these spurious allegations not only jeopardize her life but unveil systemic vulnerabilities in Korea, eroding the rule of law and human rights.
This persecution flagrantly contravenes South Korea's Constitution:
- Article 20(1): Safeguards religious freedom for all, violated by targeting a faith leader sans evidence, impeding practice and outreach.
- Article 20(2): Enforces church-state separation, breached by politicizing legal mechanisms against religious entities.
- Article 11(1): Guarantees legal equality and bans religious discrimination, flouted via biased indictments.
- Article 12(1): Shields personal liberty and prohibits arbitrary arrests without cause, per Criminal Procedure Act Article 70.
- Article 12(3): Mandates warrants on solid grounds (Criminal Procedure Act Articles 84, 200-2), disregarded in the September 22, 2025, warrant based on conjecture.
- Article 34(5): Requires state promotion of elderly welfare, ignored amid her frail state.
- Article 36(3): Protects health rights, infringed by her worsening condition.
Further violations encompass:
- Framework Act on Human Rights Policy Article 4: Bars religious bias.
- Prosecutors' Office Act Article 4: Insists on impartiality, defied by minority prejudice.
- Act on the Prohibition of and Remedies for Damage Caused by False Reporting and Media Manipulation Article 4: Violated by disseminating falsified leaks.
- National Human Rights Commission Act Article 4: Ensures equal justice.
- Welfare of Senior Citizens Act Articles 2(4), 39-2: Prohibits elder abuse via harm or neglect.
- Act on the Promotion of Aged Welfare Article 3: State's obligation to boost senior well-being.
- Long-Term Care Insurance Act Article 2: Secures senior care.
- Public Health and Medical Services Act Article 2: Right to health.
- Act on the Prevention of Infectious Diseases Article 3: Health protections.
- Framework Act on Healthy Families Article 3: Family and elder welfare.
We, a vast global alliance of millions—encompassing faith leaders, human rights defenders, politicians, journalists, scholars, and conscientious citizens devoted to peace, faith, justice, and human dignity—beseech you with profound urgency, ethical duty, and prudent foresight. President Lee Jae-myung, terminate this government-orchestrated outrage against Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, the fragile 83-year-old great-grandmother and internationally lauded “Mother of Peace,” whose endeavors have exalted Korea's global standing through pioneering peace forums, trillions in humanitarian influence, and cultural outreach. Her illegal confinement in Seoul Detention Center on contrived accusations has sparked universal indignation, thrusting Korea into a credibility abyss that imperils your governance, national cohesion, economy (through investor exodus and trade interruptions), and foreign relations.
The October 10, 2025, indictment by Special Prosecutor Min Joong-ki on four groundless counts—Political Funds Act Article 45 (illegal donations, unproven church connections, defying Article 3 on transparency and Constitution Article 27(4) on innocence presumption); Improper Solicitation and Graft Act Article 8 (bribes, unsubstantiated luxury gift assertions without her direct role, misapplying Article 22); Criminal Act Article 155 (evidence destruction incitement, unfounded); and Criminal Act Article 355 (embezzlement, distorting peace funds, violating Constitution Article 23(1) on property)—equates to "religiocide" masked as jurisprudence, dismantling a 70-year crusade for liberty, unity, anti-tyranny, and anti-communism. These infractions extend to Criminal Act Article 123 (power abuse), Article 126 (defamation), and global standards like ICCPR Articles 9 (arbitrary detention), 7 (torture), 18 (religion), 26 (non-discrimination), 14 (fair trial); UN Mandela Rules 1 and 24 (health, dignity); and Tokyo Rules for non-custodial options for the vulnerable. Amnesty International, the U.S. State Department (2023-2025 reports), and International Religious Freedom Reports underscore these lapses, pressing for adherence to evade sanctions.

These accounts stress flimsy ties to former officials, coerced confessions, speculative assertions without forensics, retracted testimonies, and no direct implication of Dr. Moon. Portrayed as "political vengeance by proxy" in conservative investigations, they spotlight excess, inventions, and national ignominy, breaching the Anti-Discrimination Act (tied to Constitution Article 11) and National Human Rights Commission Act Article 4.
The agony imposed on Dr. Moon—physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual—amounts to elder abuse and a dignity violation, contravening laws, the constitution, and morality. FFWPU alerts: "Her health is critically compromised due to age, chronic arrhythmia, diabetes, partial blindness, hypertension, and post-surgical issues, courting collapse." Merely one week before arrest (Sep 22, 2025), she underwent heart surgery, now exacerbated by detention (Chosun Ilbo, Sep 5, Oct 28, 2025: symptom worsening). After 39 days of incarceration as of October 31, 2025, she endures on painkillers, exhibiting acute pain, blue lips, labored breathing, intensified arrhythmia, emaciation, profound dark circles under her eyes, dry cracked skin, and a red flushed face indicating inflammation—in a 70-square-foot windowless cell with a cold hard floor, no heating, bedding, chairs, or essentials, aggravating her diabetes and blindness. Human rights organizations deem this "medical torture" in a democracy; her family dreads cardiac arrest or stroke absent release. The October 1 court bail denial favors politics over mercy.

Since its 1954 founding amid war devastation, FFWPU has served as Korea's pillar of resilience, contributing trillions through investments, anti-communism, and peace diplomacy. Pivotal impacts:
- Anti-Communism/Defense: Rev. Moon's prison endurance inspired efforts; 1975 Yeouido rally rallied 1.2 million for fortifications; IFVOC educated millions; CAUSA facilitated democratic transitions.
- Economic/Media: Segye Ilbo, Tongil Group generated jobs/exports; Sun Moon University (1994) educated 20,000+ in peace studies; Washington Times influenced policies.
- Cultural: Little Angels performed in 60+ countries, earning UN honors; mass blessings promoted harmony.
- Peace: UPF/WFWP resolved disputes; 1991 Kim Il-sung summit pioneered talks; 20,000+ rallies.
- Humanitarian: Trillions in relief (COVID vaccines, tsunami, Hurricane Katrina); schools for 100,000+; tree-planting across millions of hectares; 500,000+ women trained; youth exchanges for 1 million+. From 1960-2025, Dr. Moon toured Korea annually: empowering women through WFWP in Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Incheon, Gwangju, Daejeon, Ulsan, Jeju (1 million+ in leadership/equality); supporting families in Gangwon, Chungcheong, Jeolla, Gyeongsang villages via education/aid; motivating youth at Sun Moon, Seoul National, Yonsei, Korea University, KAIST, POSTECH with ethics/global citizenship, propelling tech/cultural/economic advancement. Persecuting her unravels this heritage, hazarding economic seclusion (194-nation networks), diplomatic tensions (U.S. bonds), and spiritual deprivation.
President Lee Jae-myung, your platform empowers you to amend this, forging a reformer's enduring mark. Release her to align with your ethos, dodge disaster, and exhibit leadership.
