IMMEDIATE GLOBAL RELEASE PR
February 5, 2026 | Seoul, Republic of Korea Happy TV News Exclusive: 139th Global Open Letter & In-Depth Journalistic Investigation
To Her Holiness Dr. Hak Ja Han, the Mother of Peace; His Excellency President Lee Jae-myung; Honorable Members of the National Assembly; Citizens of Korea; and Fellow Global Citizens
Dr. Hak Ja Han, widely revered as the Mother of Peace and co-founder of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU), remains in pretrial detention in South Korea as of early February 2026. She was arrested on September 22, 2025, on baseless charges —allegations she and her supporters firmly deny, attributing them to prosecutorial overreach and political motivations. Since May 2025, prosecutors have conducted numerous raids and have repeatedly attempted to find ways to keep the Mother of Peace, Dr. Hak Ja Han, in prison. Despite these extensive efforts, no concrete evidence of any guilt on her part has been uncovered. Nevertheless, authorities continue trying to justify her prolonged and allegedly unlawful detention.
No final conviction has been issued, yet she has endured extended pretrial confinement.
As of February 5, 2026, this marks 136 days in detention. Recent reports confirm her ongoing incarceration in a small cell at the Seoul Detention Center, with her trial proceeding but no resolution.
This week, South Korean news highlights escalating scrutiny of religious groups like the FFWPU, including joint prosecution-police investigations into alleged political collusion and potential dissolution of foundations deemed "harmful to society". Courts have shown some pushback against prosecutorial excess in related cases (e.g., dismissals of certain charges against former church official Yoon Young-ho on January 28, 2026, for exceeding the special prosecutor's mandate, and similar rulings on January 22, 2026). These decisions underscore judicial checks on overreach, with courts emphasizing proportionality and statutory limits—principles that have been violated in Dr. Han's case through expanded probes beyond original scopes, that infringing on constitutional protections.
Few South Korea's Constitution safeguards fundamental rights that appear compromised here:
- Article 20 guarantees freedom of religion, prohibiting state interference in religious affairs unless clearly justified.
- Article 12 ensures due process, protection from arbitrary detention, and the right to a prompt, fair trial.
- Article 11 mandates equality before the law, barring discrimination.
- Article 21 protects freedom of expression and assembly.
Critics, including her defense team (14 lawyers, including ex-prosecutors and judges), contend prosecutors have exceeded their mandate, relying heavily on uncorroborated co-conspirator testimony without independent evidence, while ignoring humanitarian factors. This echoes recent court rejections of similar overreach in politically charged probes.
Dr. Han's health crisis intensifies the urgency. At 83 (often reported as 82 in some contexts due to Korean age reckoning), she suffers from advanced macular degeneration (near-total blindness), severe glaucoma, diabetes, atrial fibrillation (with cardiac risks), drastic weight loss, and damaged leg cartilage, forcing her to crawl for basic needs. She fell three times in January 2026 while attempting to use the bathroom (January 5, 15, and 23), causing hip and pelvis pain. A brief medical release in November 2025 allowed emergency eye surgery, but post-operative recovery extension was denied, leading to immediate re-detention. Her 14-lawyer team argues detention risks irreversible deterioration, poses no flight risk (an elderly religious leader who appeared voluntarily), and yields no new evidence after massive raids. Yet prosecutors deemed her condition "not serious enough" for further postponement, prioritizing procedural compliance over human welfare.
Over her 65+ years of leadership (since co-founding the movement in the 1950s with Rev. Sun Myung Moon), Dr. Han has dedicated herself to Korea's upliftment and global peace. Born amid wartime devastation in North Korea, she supported postwar recovery through anti-communism efforts (e.g., 1975 rallies mobilizing 1.2 million for national unity during Cold War threats), economic initiatives aiding conglomerates like Samsung and Hyundai (contributing to Korea's economic miracle), and diplomatic bridges (1991 meeting with Kim Il-sung advancing unification talks; 1990 engagement with Gorbachev easing tensions). She founded global organizations like the Women's Federation for World Peace (1992, spanning 157 nations) and the Universal Peace Federation (2005, in over 200 countries), promoting interfaith harmony, family values, and reconciliation. Her principles of equity and peace aligned with leaders across administrations, including support for unity and fairness echoing current President Lee Jae-myung's agenda—yet under his administration, she faces this detention without conviction, a profound irony.
Globally, over 130 armed conflicts rage across more than 100 countries (from Ukraine and Sudan to Myanmar and the Sahel), displacing millions and pushing the Doomsday Clock dangerously close to catastrophe. Dr. Han's philosophy of "One Family Under God" and True Love offers a moral path to transform division into unity. Only her release could catalyze the 2026 Global Ceasefire Movement, sanctifying Earth through maternal spiritual guidance and ending wars—logically, her continued incarceration stifles this potential at humanity's peril.
What are we waiting for? If her vision holds truth, inaction prolongs suffering. Every human being must act immediately: Release the Mother of Peace to holify Earth—ALL WARS CEASE 2026.
Immediate Call to Action – Practical Steps for Every Korean and Global Citizen:
- Protest Peacefully Today: Under Korea's Assembly and Demonstration Act, notify authorities 48–72 hours ahead for gatherings at Gwanghwamun Square, Seoul City Hall, or local sites. Join or organize rallies with signs honoring her legacy—inspired by nonviolent leaders like Gandhi and MLK.
