March 1, 2026 | Seoul, Republic of Korea
Global Broadcast Press Release: 162nd Open Letter to Her Holiness Holy Mother Han, Revered as the Mother of Peace; His Excellency President Lee Jae-myung; Esteemed Members of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea; Beloved Citizens of the Republic of Korea; and the 8 Billion Global Citizens United in Pursuit of Justice, Compassion, and Lasting World Harmony
President Lee Jae-myung, honorable citizens of the Republic of Korea, and fellow global citizens: We offer our deepest apologies for the grave injustice endured by Dr. Hak Ja Han, an 83-year-old icon of compassion, resilience, and humanity's shared future. This investigative press release, prepared by Happy TV News journalists in collaboration with the Global Peace Building Network (GPBNet) and True Love Revolution advocates, draws on February 2026 updates from South Korean and international sources like Yonhap News Agency, Chosun Ilbo, Anadolu Agency, Korea JoongAng Daily, Reuters, The Washington Post, Human Rights Without Frontiers, and the 2026 International Religious Freedom (IRF) Summit. It exposes a stark human rights violation against a lifelong architect of global unity, weaving her inspiring narrative of empowerment with actionable steps to protect religious freedoms, heal divisions, and ignite a worldwide push to end all armed conflicts.
This week's South Korean news (February 22-28, 2026) intensified scrutiny on judicial overreach, elderly prisoner protections, and religious rights in Dr. Han's case. On February 21, the Seoul Central District Court denied extending her February 12-21 temporary medical release, forcing her return to Seoul Detention Center at 2 p.m. KST despite documented risks like falls and chronic conditions. Yonhap and Anadolu reported prosecutorial bias tied to former First Lady Kim Keon-hee, echoing broader democratic concerns. Alarmingly, on February 22—just one day post-reincarceration—Dr. Han suffered a life-threatening nosebleed in the facility's restroom without on-duty medical staff; her HJ Magnolia International Hospital doctor noted blood-filled tissues signaling an emergency, highlighting custodial neglect. Globally, the 2026 IRF Summit in Washington, D.C., amplified release calls, with leaders like former U.S. Speaker Newt Gingrich and Bishop Luonne Rouse denouncing it as persecution. On February 26, 70 international clergy visited her in detention during the World Clergy Leadership Conference National Prayer Rally, issuing a petition for humanitarian care and reconciliation; Dr. Han, undeterred, urged them to fulfill God's will. Social media exploded with #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace protests in New York, Seoul vigils at Gwanghwamun Square, and online petitions, amid positive economic news like stock surges but overshadowed by arbitrary arrests. Worldwide, 2026 data from ACLED and Crisis Group reveal over 130 active conflicts—up from 59 in 2023—affecting 100+ nations with 50+ major wars displacing millions in Ukraine, Sudan, Gaza, Myanmar, Nigeria, and beyond, underscoring the need for visionaries like Dr. Han.
Dr. Hak Ja Han, co-founder of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) and hailed as the Mother of Peace, faces unjust pretrial detention in South Korea on contested bribery and funding charges—claims her defenders and 14-member legal team (former prosecutors and judges) reject as fabricated and politically driven. Arrested September 22, 2025, without conviction or full trial, she has endured 160 days in custody as of February 28, 2026, minus brief medical breaks. This week's events spotlight South Korea's handling of religious liberties, elderly safeguards, and fair prosecution, bolstered by IRF declarations. Her February 11 suspension allowed limited hospital treatment for attorneys and medics only, following a November 2025 glaucoma surgery release not extended.
This travesty violates South Korea's Constitution: Article 20 guarantees religious freedom; Article 12 mandates due process against arbitrary holds; Article 11 ensures legal equality; Article 21 protects speech and assembly—all flouted here. Officials rely on dubious testimony while ignoring health pleas, revealing biases linked to Kim Keon-hee.
At 83, Dr. Han's health crisis demands urgency: advancing macular degeneration risks blindness; acute glaucoma, diabetes, atrial fibrillation threaten heart failure; severe weight loss and knee woes force crawling for basics. January 2026 saw three falls (January 5, 15, 23) with hip/pelvic injuries, a January 27 court faint delaying proceedings, and the February 22 nosebleed. A February 9 evaluation stressed pain management and specialized care needs. These failures breach UN Nelson Mandela Rules, prioritizing dignity and alternatives for elderly/ill detainees—standards South Korea, a democracy beacon, must honor but has forsaken.
Echoing past tyrannies, former Czechoslovak political prisoner Peter Zoehrer likened her plight to communist-era abuses on February 21, 2026. PhDr. Juraj Lajda, Ph.D., an ex-dissident lecturer, decried her re-detention despite vision loss, mobility limits post-knee surgery, and recent heart operation. A September 2025 wheelchair courtroom photo shows her profound strain. As international outcry grows, what will President Lee choose to liberate this innocent peace pioneer?
Over 65 years, since co-founding the movement in the 1950s with Rev. Sun Myung Moon, Dr. Han has tirelessly aided Korea and the world. Born amid the Korean War in North Korea, she led postwar anti-communist drives, including 1975 rallies uniting 1.2 million Koreans against Cold War threats. She supported industrial giants like Samsung and Hyundai, propelling Korea's "Miracle on the Han River" from $1.5 billion GDP in 1960 to today's economic titan. Diplomatically, she enabled the 1991 Kim Il Sung summit for peninsula peace and 1990 Gorbachev meeting to thaw global tensions. She founded the Women's Federation for World Peace (1992, 157 countries) and Universal Peace Federation (2005, 200+ nations), fostering interfaith talks, family ethics, and mediation. Her equity and unity ideals aligned with presidents, including subtle aid for President Lee's rise through shared peace goals—yet his regime jailed her without trial, a glaring hypocrisy begging redress. 2026 reports from The Washington Post (February 3) and unificationnews.eu affirm her anti-communism and reconciliation work amid probes.
A profound true personal story captures her empowerment: During Rev. Moon's near-fatal Korean War imprisonment and family persecution, they returned in 1991 with forgiveness, not revenge. As Dr. Han said, "Seeing others as enemies blocks mercy. A mother's infinite love enables it. I chose unity over retribution." This inspired the Korean Peninsula's Joint Denuclearization Declaration, proving peace stems from courageous compassion—a vital lesson for our fractured era.
In 2026, 130+ armed conflicts ravage 100+ countries—double in 15 years—with 50+ major wars trapping generations in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, Myanmar, Nigeria, and more. Half the world—100 nations—grapples with war now. What are you waiting for? If this grim reality holds, what daily steps will you take? Logically and practically, Dr. Han's immediate unconditional release is imperative: As a spiritual beacon, she can spearhead the 2026 Global Ceasefire Initiative, sanctifying Earth via True Love to abolish violence. Without her guidance, conflict endures; with freedom, compassion-based grassroots can douse war's flames. Only by freeing Her Holiness Holy Mother Han to consecrate all Earth can ALL WARS CEASE in 2026. #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace. Every person must rise today: Protest now, share release petitions, amplify her peace legacy in media, contact leaders via e-government, and embrace daily peace with GPBNet's True Love Revolution—like forgiveness meditations, family bonds, interfaith dialogues—for 24/7 social media impact.
President Lee Jae-myung, respected Korean citizens, and global kin: We profoundly regret this betrayal and the pain inflicted on a nurturer of human ties. We share this empowering tale: Honor elders' wisdom, safeguard religious freedoms, uphold justice—demand her eternal liberty. Together, we repair rifts and forge unbreakable peace.
Global Empowerment Framework: Practical Best Practices for Every Korean and Global Citizen to Act Immediately
To transform outrage into impact, follow these nonviolent, civic steps:
- Organize Peaceful Protests – Act Swiftly: Under South Korea's Assembly Act, notify 48-72 hours ahead for gatherings at Gwanghwamun Square, National Assembly, or plazas. Channel Gandhi and King: Hold signs honoring Dr. Han's 65-year legacy, chant for justice, livestream on X/YouTube/Instagram. Join daily vigils near Seoul Detention Center, as in this week's events. Globally, host virtual rallies or embassy protests—post with #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace for momentum. Urgency: Rally today amid her health crisis.
- Amplify Her Legacy via Media – Spread Truth 24/7: Draft press releases for Yonhap, Reuters, BBC, CNN, KBS, highlighting her aid to Korean presidents, economic growth, and global harmony. Flood social media with #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace #AllWarsCease2026 #TrueLoveRevolution #GPBNet, tagging officials/influencers—share speeches, infographics, testimonies. Build on this week's viral surges; submit op-eds, pitch stories emphasizing her support for President Lee's win via peace ideals, versus her courtless jailing.
- Engage Leaders Directly – Leverage E-Government: Use epeople.go.kr for petitions, assembly.go.kr for legislator outreach, demanding bail, care, acquittal—cite constitutional breaches and her service to Koreans, presidents, unification. Send letters to all parliamentarians and President Lee, stressing her anti-communism, economic boosts, inter-Korean diplomacy. Go global: Petition UN, U.S. Congress via portals, riding IRF momentum. Use GPBNet templates for campaigns; track responses weekly.
- Commit to Daily Peace Actions with GPBNet's True Love Revolution – Foster Lasting Change: Start with forgiveness reflections (release grudges), nurture family through shared meals/unity chats, host community/virtual interfaith sessions. Engage GPBNet's weekly forums, peace fundraisers, cross-border initiatives. As a Local Ambassador, pledge "One Family Under God," volunteer, create content for nonstop social media. This turns personal empathy into collective force—join digital prayers, educate on conflicts, advocate ceasefires in war zones. Live these to honor Dr. Han's vision and drive the 2026 anti-war movement.
With respect and hopeful determination, Nicolae Cirpala President, GPBNet | Chief Investigative Journalist, Happy TV News #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace #AllWarsCease2026
