BREAKING: ALL WARS CEASE STARTS WITH ONE RELEASE!

 February 26, 2026 | Seoul, Republic of Korea

Global Broadcast Press Release: 158th 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, Empathy, and Enduring World Harmony

President Lee Jae-myung, the honorable citizens of the Republic of Korea, and fellow global citizens, we offer our profoundest apologies for the egregious miscarriage of justice endured by Dr. Hak Ja Han—an 83-year-old icon of compassion, resilience, and unwavering commitment to humanity's shared future. This meticulously researched investigative press release, produced by the dedicated team at Happy TV News in collaboration with the Global Peace Building Network (GPBNet) and advocates of the True Love Revolution, incorporates the most current developments from South Korea and across the globe as of February 26, 2026. Drawing from authoritative sources such as Yonhap News Agency, The Korea Times, Anadolu Agency, Chosun Ilbo, Korea JoongAng Daily, Reuters, The Washington Post, Human Rights Without Frontiers, and recent international human rights assessments, this thorough examination exposes a blatant infringement on basic human rights against a lifelong architect of international unity. It interweaves her inspiring narrative of transformative kindness and empowerment with actionable strategies for people everywhere to protect religious liberties, mend societal rifts, and ignite a unified push to eradicate all armed conflicts worldwide.

This week's South Korean headlines, spanning February 19–26, 2026, have been dominated by escalating concerns over judicial overreach, elderly detainee protections, and religious freedoms, particularly in the case of Dr. Hak Ja Han. The Seoul Central District Court's decision on February 20 to deny an extension of her temporary medical suspension—granted on February 11 for treatment from February 12 to 2 p.m. on February 21—led to her immediate return to the Seoul Detention Center, despite documented health vulnerabilities including repeated falls and chronic conditions. Reports from Yonhap and Chosun Ilbo emphasize prosecutorial zeal, potential biases in investigations tied to former First Lady Kim Keon-hee, and violations of detainee rights, echoing broader critiques of South Korea's democratic backsliding. Internationally, the 2026 International Religious Freedom (IRF) Summit in Washington, D.C., has amplified calls for her release, with figures like former U.S. Speaker Newt Gingrich and others decrying the detention as a religious persecution scandal. Social media buzz under #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace has surged, with protests in New York and online petitions gaining traction, reflecting global indignation. Amid positive economic stories like stock market gains and export growth, human rights issues overshadow, with trends indicating rising alarms over arbitrary detentions and health neglect in custody. Globally, 2026 reports highlight over 130 active armed conflicts—a doubling in just 15 years—affecting more than 100 countries, with at least 50 major wars displacing millions and perpetuating cycles of violence in regions like Ukraine, Sudan, Gaza, Myanmar, and Nigeria. These patterns underscore the urgent need for visionary leaders like Dr. Han to steer humanity toward peace.

Dr. Hak Ja Han, co-founder of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) and globally honored as the Mother of Peace, remains in unjust pretrial detention in South Korea on contested charges of bribery and political funding infractions—claims her supporters and legal team vehemently refute as baseless and driven by political agendas. Detained since September 22, 2025, without a conviction or full trial, she has now accumulated 158 days in custody as of February 26, 2026, with only intermittent medical breaks. This week's developments have heightened global scrutiny on South Korea's handling of religious rights, protections for vulnerable detainees, and prosecutorial fairness, bolstered by statements from the 2026 IRF Summit. The court's February 11 suspension allowed a limited hospital stay for treatment, restricted to medical and legal personnel, following appeals citing her advanced age and deteriorating health—a follow-up to a brief 2025 release for glaucoma surgery that was not extended.

This situation flagrantly contravenes South Korea's Constitution: Article 20 guarantees religious freedom without state meddling; Article 12 mandates due process and bars arbitrary arrests; Article 11 upholds legal equality; and Article 21 safeguards freedom of expression and assembly—all principles flagrantly ignored here. Her formidable 14-member defense team, including ex-prosecutors and judges, contends that authorities lean on dubious witness accounts while ignoring health pleas, revealing investigative flaws connected to former First Lady Kim Keon-hee and exposing entrenched prejudices.

At 83, Dr. Han's precarious health amplifies the crisis: progressive macular degeneration approaching blindness, severe glaucoma, diabetes, atrial fibrillation risking cardiac failure, substantial weight loss, and crippling knee problems forcing her to crawl for daily needs. In January 2026 alone, she suffered three confirmed falls (January 5, 15, and 23), resulting in hip and pelvic trauma, alongside a January 27 courtroom faint that paused proceedings. A court-mandated medical review on February 9 stemmed from trial delays, with advocates highlighting inadequate pain management and the imperative for ongoing expert care. These lapses violate the United Nations' Nelson Mandela Rules, which stipulate detention as a final resort for the elderly or infirm, emphasizing dignity and alternatives to incarceration—standards that South Korea, as a beacon of democracy, should exemplify but has tragically forsaken.

Dr. Hak Ja Han was re-incarcerated at the Seoul Detention Center on February 21, 2026, at 2 p.m. KST, after the court's refusal to prolong her medical pause. This was not a full bail but a confined hospital period. Supporters anxiously await decisions on further relief as her health worsens. Since her arrest, Dr. Han has experienced at least three in-custody falls, per CDC data the leading cause of injury for those over 65. South Korea's Constitution (Article 10) affirms human dignity and well-being, judicially interpreted to include health safeguards and humane treatment. Disregarding medical records—such as fall documentation and chronic ailments—in upholding detention could constitute serious wrongdoing under the Judges Act (Article 45) or Criminal Code (Article 122, abuse of power).

In a harrowing escalation, Dr. Hak Ja Han, 83, suffered a severe nosebleed on Sunday afternoon, February 22, 2026—just one day after her return to the Seoul Detention Center following the end of her temporary detention suspension. The suspension, approved on February 11 for addressing injuries from multiple custody falls, concluded at 2 p.m. on February 21 after the court rejected an extension request from her legal team. The incident occurred in the facility's restroom on a Sunday, when the center's medical officer was unavailable. Her physician at HJ Magnolia International Hospital was alerted, describing the bleeding as critical—enough to saturate a trash bin with bloodied tissues—and deeming it an emergency. The absence of on-site medical staff at the time spotlights grave deficiencies in care for a detainee whose vulnerabilities have been repeatedly validated by the court itself. This is fundamentally a question of human life and survival. How long will South Korea's justice system persist in detaining her as her health spirals to this dire state?

A poignant voice from history draws stark parallels: Peter Zoehrer, a former political prisoner in communist Czechoslovakia, likened his ordeals to Dr. Han's current plight in a February 21, 2026, statement. Similarly, PhDr. Juraj Lajda, Ph.D., a lecturer and former dissident under Czechoslovakia's regime, expressed shock at her re-detention despite severe conditions like vision loss from glaucoma, post-knee-surgery mobility issues, and recent heart surgery. A September 2025 courtroom photo of Dr. Han in a wheelchair, head lowered, escorted through crowds, vividly illustrates her profound physical and emotional toll. What direction will South Korea take as international pressure mounts on President Lee to liberate this innocent champion of peace?

For over 65 years, since co-founding the movement in the 1950s alongside her late husband, Rev. Sun Myung Moon, Dr. Han has tirelessly served Korea and the world. Born amid the Korean War in North Korea, she championed postwar rebuilding through anti-communist initiatives, including 1975 rallies that mobilized 1.2 million Koreans during Cold War threats. Her work supported industrial titans like Samsung and Hyundai, propelling Korea's "Miracle on the Han River" from a 1960 GDP of $1.5 billion to its current economic dominance. Diplomatically, she orchestrated the 1991 summit with Kim Il Sung for peninsula reconciliation and the 1990 meeting with Mikhail Gorbachev to defuse global tensions. She established the Women's Federation for World Peace in 1992 (operating in 157 countries) and the Universal Peace Federation in 2005 (spanning over 200 nations), advancing interreligious dialogue, family ethics, and dispute resolution. Her ethos of equity and inter-Korean harmony aligned with successive Korean presidents, including implicit support for President Lee Jae-myung's policies on fairness and peace—yet, under his administration, she was arrested without trial and remains imprisoned, a stark irony demanding rectification. 2026 coverage from The Washington Post (February 3) and unificationnews.eu reaffirms these feats, highlighting her anti-communism and peace advocacy amid ongoing probes.

A compelling true personal story captures her essence of global empowerment: Amid Rev. Moon's near-lethal imprisonment in North Korea during the Korean War and her family's faith-based persecution, they returned in 1991 with forgiveness, not retribution. As Dr. Han articulated, "Seeing others only as foes hinders forgiveness. A parental heart, a mother's infinite love, makes it possible. I chose reconciliation over revenge." This profound insight catalyzed the Joint Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, proving peace stems from courageous mercy—a vital message for our fractured era.

In 2026, more than 50 ongoing armed conflicts devastate over 100 countries—from Ukraine and Gaza to Sudan, Myanmar, and Nigeria—uprooting millions and propelling the world toward disaster. Over 20 of these wars have raged for more than two decades, trapping generations in perpetual strife. Half the planet—encompassing 100 nations—grapples with warfare right now. What are you waiting for? If this grim reality holds true, what will you do daily to change it? Logically and practically, Dr. Han's immediate, unconditional release is paramount: As a prophetic spiritual guide, she can spearhead the 2026 Global Ceasefire Initiative, sanctifying the Earth to abolish brutality. Without her wisdom, conflicts persist; with her liberation, grassroots actions rooted in True Love can douse the flames of war. Only by freeing Her Holiness Holy Mother Han to consecrate all Earth can ALL WARS CEASE in 2026. #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace. Every person on this planet must stand today and act: Protest now, circulate petitions for her freedom, disseminate her peace heritage via media, contact leaders through e-government, and dedicate to daily peace practices via GPBNet's True Love Revolution—such as forgiveness exercises, family fortification, and interfaith exchanges—for relentless global impact on social media 24/7.

President Lee Jae-myung, respected citizens of the Republic of Korea, and our worldwide family: We convey our deepest sorrow for this appalling injustice and the anguish inflicted on a woman who has ceaselessly fostered humanity's connections. We grieve this disloyalty and present this empowering true personal narrative: Revere the wisdom of elders, champion religious freedoms, and enforce justice—insist on her permanent liberation. Together, we heal divides and forge unbreakable peace.

Global Empowerment Framework: Practical Best Practices for Every Korean and Global Citizen to Act Immediately
