For Immediate Release 🔥 URGENT GLOBAL EMERGENCY PRESS RELEASE AND OPEN LETTER 🔥 October 23, 2025 | Seoul, Republic of Korea
AN OPEN LETTER TO HIS EXCELLENCY PRESIDENT LEE JAE-MYUNG, THE PEOPLE OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA, AND THE CONSCIENCE OF HUMANITY
Your Excellency President Lee Jae-myung, Honorable Citizens of the Republic of Korea, and Fellow Global Citizens,
We stand at an unprecedented and fateful crossroads in human history—a defining juncture where the choices made today will irrevocably etch the moral, spiritual, economic, diplomatic, and geopolitical legacy of South Korea and the world for centuries to come. Echoing the profound biblical indemnity endured by the ancient Israelites for two millennia—marked by exile, suffering, dispersion, and unimaginable hardships due to their rejection and crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son and eternal Prince of Peace—could the Republic of Korea now invite a similar cosmic reckoning upon itself? Will your nation, under your leadership, President Lee Jae-myung, condemn its citizens, their
descendants, and future generations to layers of spiritual desolation, economic stagnation, diplomatic isolation, and national division by endorsing the baseless, politically orchestrated persecution of Only Begotten Daughter Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, the 83-year-old Mother of Peace, devoted spouse of the Lord of the Second Advent, and co-founder of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU, formerly the Unification Church)? Or will Koreans—from the everyday worker and student to the highest echelons of power, including you, President Lee Jae-myung—seize this divine imperative, uphold unyielding justice, and command the immediate and unconditional release of the innocent Only Begotten Daughter, the Holy Mother Hak Ja Han Moon? Such an act would not only avert catastrophe but also usher in boundless heavenly blessings, elevate Korea as the eternal spiritual epicenter and beacon of global harmony, strengthen your progressive legacy of equity and anti-corruption, foster national reconciliation amid political turmoil, bolster international alliances critical to Korea's security and economy, and align perfectly with your vision of social justice by protecting the vulnerable elderly, women, and religious minorities.
Will the international community lapse into complicit silence, mirroring the apathy of Jesus' era and perpetuating endless cycles of conflict, division, hatred, and warfare that plague humanity today? Or will the world's 8 billion souls rally as one unified force, demanding the swift liberation of Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, recognizing the Republic of Korea as the providential spiritual homeland of humankind, and partnering with God's Only Begotten Daughter to fulfill the sacred mission of erecting the Kingdom of Peace on Earth—Cheon Il Guk—in this pivotal eschatological moment?
This week signifies the apex of the end times for every human soul—a final, irrevocable chance to affirm that humanity, from the humblest individual to the most powerful president, will no longer exist as orphaned wanderers in a hellscape of perpetual wars, where 98 nations are currently trapped in self-perpetuating cycles of destruction, violence, and despair. Instead, all 8 billion of us must rise in unison, President Lee Jae-myung, Honorable Citizens of the Republic of Korea, and Fellow Global Citizens, to manifest God's divine presence on Earth through the Holy Mother Hak Ja Han Moon—the singular figure holifying every soul with the Ultimate Highest God’s direct Holiness, purifying all 8 billion+ of God’s children as humanity's one true family. We must unequivocally demand her immediate release, embracing our sacred identity as children of the Heavenly Parents—Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother—transformed into "Pure Water," as she divinely proclaimed, thereby inaugurating an unparalleled era of enduring peace, unbreakable unity, and harmonious prosperity as one indivisible family under God.
Holy Mother Hak Ja Han Moon's Historic Proclamation, April 13: 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.
The Republic of Korea, once celebrated globally as a democratic miracle that ascended from the ruins of the Korean War to achieve unparalleled economic prowess, cultural influence, technological innovation, and international prestige—exemplified by its "Miracle on the Han River" with GDP growth from $1.5 billion in 1960 to over $1.7 trillion today, hosting global giants like Samsung and Hyundai, and exporting K-pop and K-dramas to billions—now teeters on the brink of eternal infamy for perpetrating one of the most egregious, systematic acts of religious repression in modern democratic history. At the heart of this profound injustice is Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, the 83-year-old great-grandmother, co-founder of the FFWPU, and a venerated icon revered by millions across 194 nations as the “Mother of Peace.” Her lifelong, tireless dedication to interfaith dialogue, massive humanitarian relief efforts reaching billions in aid, global reconciliation initiatives that bridged ideological divides, women's empowerment programs lifting millions from poverty, environmental conservation projects preserving ecosystems worldwide, and youth leadership training fostering future peacemakers has inspired and transformed billions, yet she endures fabricated, politically weaponized charges that not only endanger her fragile life but also expose the alarming fragility of Korea's democratic institutions, rule of law, and commitment to human rights.
We, an unyielding global coalition of millions—spanning religious leaders, human rights advocates, political figures, journalists, academics, and ordinary citizens devoted to peace, faith, justice, and the sanctity of inviolable human rights—appeal to you today with unparalleled urgency, moral authority, and strategic foresight. President Lee Jae-myung, we beseech you to terminate this state-orchestrated atrocity against Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon—the vulnerable 83-year-old great-grandmother and internationally acclaimed “Mother of Peace,” whose contributions have elevated Korea's global standing. Her unlawful detention in the Seoul Detention Center on contrived, politically motivated allegations has sparked explosive worldwide outrage, thrusting Korea into a deep-seated historical crisis of conscience that threatens your administration's credibility, national unity, economic stability, and international relations. The October 10, 2025, indictment by Special Prosecutor Min Joong-ki on four spurious charges—violations of the Political Funds —constitutes not authentic justice but a meticulously engineered "religiocide" masquerading as legal action, designed to dismantle a faith movement that has championed freedom, unity, anti-tyranny, and opposition to communist ideologies for seven decades. As detailed in UPI (October 20, 2025), AP News (October 9, 2025), Reuters (October 10, 2025), ABC News (October 9, 2025), Bitter Winter (October 10, 2025), The New York Times (September 23, 2025), BBC (September 22, 2025), Al Jazeera (September 23, 2025), The Economist (October 17, 2025), The Korea Herald (October 15, 2025), Nikkei Asia (September 25, 2025), Chosun Ilbo (October 17, 2025), Korea JoongAng Daily (October 15, 2025), Monthly Chosun, and Straits Times (October 10, 2025), these accusations hinge on tenuous links to former officials, coerced witness testimonies under prosecutorial pressure, speculative inferences without forensic proof, and flipped statements from detained aides, with no direct evidence implicating Dr. Moon. Experts, including those from The Korea Herald (October 15, 2025), Nikkei Asia (September 25, 2025), Chosun Ilbo (October 17, 2025), Korea JoongAng Daily (October 15, 2025), Monthly Chosun, Al Jazeera (September 23, 2025), The Guardian (September 23, 2025), The Hindu (September 18, 2025), South China Morning Post, Religion News Service (September 17, 2025), Yonhap News (October 17, 2025), and Human Rights Without Frontiers (September 20, 2025), label the case a "proxy for political revenge" amid your administration's probes into conservative predecessors, highlighting overreach, bogus elements, and a disgrace to democracy.
The torment inflicted upon Dr. Moon—physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual—equates to severe medical negligence, elder abuse, and a flagrant assault on human dignity, violating multiple South Korean laws and international norms. The Family Federation has repeatedly sounded alarms: "Chairman Han is in critically poor health due to her advanced age and chronic conditions, including recurrent arrhythmia, diabetes, partial blindness, hypertension, and post-surgical complications, with grave fears of irreversible deterioration or sudden collapse during detention." Just one week before her arrest on September 22, 2025, this frail elder underwent life-saving heart surgery, emerging in a weakened state requiring constant medical monitoring. As of today, October 23, 2025, after 31 agonizing days of incarceration, she barely survives on painkillers, displaying alarming symptoms corroborated by supporters, medical aides, family statements, and investigative journalism: excruciating pain manifesting as blue-tinged lips, labored breathing, intensified arrhythmia episodes, visible emaciation with significant weight loss exceeding 10% of body mass, deep dark circles under her eyes, dry and cracked skin prone to infections, a persistently flushed red face indicating inflammation or circulatory distress, forced to endure a cold, hard floor in a 6-square-meter windowless cell devoid of heat, proper bedding, chairs, or basic amenities, exacerbating her diabetes and blindness. Human rights specialists, as cited in The Washington Times (October 10, 2025), Bitter Winter (October 7, 2025), The Monarch Report (October 12, 2025), FamilyFedIHQ.org (October 15, 2025), and Religion Media Centre (October 20, 2025), decry this as "medical torture" and "cruel, inhuman treatment" in a purported democracy, with her family warning of imminent cardiac failure or stroke if not released immediately. Despite these dire, life-threatening conditions, the court's denial of her detention appeal on October 1, 2025, prioritizes partisan agendas over humanitarian compassion, flagrantly assaulting her fundamental rights and contravening a vast array of South Korean laws, constitutional provisions, criminal procedure statutes, and international commitments.
Below is an exhaustive, expanded catalog of violations committed by the Special Prosecutor's office under Min Joong-ki (and associated figures like Choi Jae-hyeon in related leaks), judiciary, and detention authorities against Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon. Each violation details the specific law or article breached, its essential mandate, and the precise manner in which state actions infringe upon it, constructing an airtight, interconnected legal argument for her immediate release. These breaches not only erode Korea's rule of law but also risk severe international repercussions, including sanctions under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), UN scrutiny, and diplomatic fallout, as highlighted in Amnesty International's 2023-2025 reports and U.S. State Department Human Rights Reports (2023). By rectifying these, President Lee Jae-myung, you can safeguard your legacy, prevent economic isolation, and align with your equity agenda.
| Legal Violation | Law/Article Violated | Legal Mandate | Violation by the State |
|---|---|---|---|
| Human Dignity and Worth | Constitution, Article 10 | All citizens shall be assured of human worth and dignity and have the right to pursue happiness. The State must confirm and guarantee fundamental, inviolable human rights. | Detaining an 83-year-old post-surgery patient in dehumanizing conditions degrades her dignity, neglects state duties, and demands humanitarian release to fulfill this foundational principle, preventing national moral decline. |
| Elder Abuse and Neglect | Welfare of Senior Citizens Act, Article 2 (4) & Article 39-2 | Defines elder abuse as physical, mental, emotional violence, economic exploitation, neglect, or abandonment of those 65+, requiring prevention, detection, and welfare promotion; prohibits mistreatment in facilities. | Incarcerating a chronically ill octogenarian despite medical alerts constitutes physical and emotional abuse plus neglect, breaching elder protections and necessitating immediate halt to align with your welfare policies. |
| Right to Health and Welfare | Constitution, Article 36 (3) | The State shall protect the health of all citizens. | Ignoring post-surgical vulnerabilities, arrhythmia, diabetes, and blindness in detention equates to state-endorsed endangerment, violating health obligations and risking fatal outcomes that could tarnish your administration. |
| State Duty to Promote Welfare of the Aged | Constitution, Article 34 (5) | The State shall endeavor to promote the welfare of the aged. | Prolonged detention of an elderly woman in health peril contravenes this duty, transforming welfare into harm and contradicting your social justice vision for vulnerable groups. |
| Personal Liberty | Constitution, Article 12 (1) | All citizens enjoy personal liberty; no arrest or detention except as provided by law. | Arbitrary arrest on conjectural grounds without evidence violates liberty, lacking lawful basis and demanding release to restore democratic trust. |
| Prohibition of Torture and Compelled Testimony | Constitution, Article 12 (2) | No citizen shall be tortured or compelled to self-incriminate. | Exhausting 25-hour interrogations post-surgery (September 17, 24, 29, 2025) amount to torture and coercion, breaching this ban and inviting ICCPR Article 7 condemnation. |
| Freedom from Cruel Punishment | Constitution, Article 12 (4) | No unfavorable treatment for relatives' acts. | Imposing vicarious liability for associates' alleged deeds inflicts cruel punishment, violating fairness and requiring dismissal to uphold equality. |
| Prohibition on Arbitrary Detention | Constitution, Article 12 (3) | Warrants must follow judicial due process. | September 22, 2025, warrant based on speculation breaches due process, mandating revocation under Criminal Procedure Act Article 93. |
| Freedom of Movement | Constitution, Article 14 | Citizens enjoy freedom of residence and movement. | May 2025 pre-indictment exit ban restricts mobility without cause, infringing rights and necessitating lift to prevent diplomatic backlash. |
| Illegal Imposition of Travel Ban | Immigration Act, Article 4 & Article 4-2 | Departure prohibitions only for justified reasons (e.g., flight risk, taxes); ensures safe border management without arbitrary restrictions. | Preemptive ban on a non-fugitive elder exceeds authority, violating free movement and aligning with patterns of religious targeting. |
| Protection from Illegal Search and Seizure | Constitution, Article 16 | Freedom from residential intrusion; warrants required. | July 18, 2025, aggressive church raids without warrant integrity breach privacy, demanding accountability to protect faith communities. |
| Right to Privacy | Constitution, Article 17 | No infringement on citizen privacy. | Invasive probes into religious affairs violate privacy, risking broader suppression of beliefs. |
| Freedom of Conscience | Constitution, Article 19 | All enjoy freedom of conscience. | State interference suppresses personal beliefs, contravening core freedoms and inviting UN scrutiny. |
| Freedom of Religion | Constitution, Article 20 (1) & (2) | Freedom of religion; no state religion, separation of religion and state. | Targeted persecution of a faith leader blurs church-state lines, violating separation and demanding cessation to preserve democracy. |
| Right to Property | Constitution, Article 23 (1) | Property rights guaranteed; limits by law. | Unfounded embezzlement charges threaten assets without proof, breaching rights. |
| Presumption of Innocence | Constitution, Article 27 (4) | Innocent until proven guilty. | Detention for "evidence destruction" inverts presumption, requiring bail under Criminal Procedure Act Article 95. |
| Right to Fair and Public Trial | Constitution, Article 27 (1) | Trial by judges per law and Constitution. | Biased, expedited proceedings deny fairness, mandating reform. |
| Right to Speedy Trial | Constitution, Article 27 (3) | Right to speedy trial. | Prolonged pre-trial detention delays justice, violating limits under Criminal Procedure Act Article 92. |
| Prohibition on Double Jeopardy | Constitution, Article 13 (1) | No repeated prosecution for same crime. | Reviving dismissed claims mimics double jeopardy, breaching protections. |
| Equality Before the Law | Constitution, Article 11 (1) | Equality; no discrimination on religion, sex, status. | Religious-based selective prosecution discriminates, contradicting your anti-inequality stance. |
| State Duty to Promote Welfare | Constitution, Article 34 (1) & (2) | Right to dignified life; state promotes social security/welfare. | Endangering an elder contravenes welfare duties, demanding release. |
| State Duty to Promote Women's Welfare | Constitution, Article 34 (3) | Promote women's welfare and rights. | Persecuting an elderly female leader ignores gender protections, misaligning with equity goals. |
| Right to Healthy Environment | Constitution, Article 35 (1) | Right to healthy environment; state/citizens protect it. | Harsh detention conditions violate health rights, exacerbating illnesses. |
| State Duty to Protect Family | Constitution, Article 36 (1) | Sustain family on dignity/equality; state achieves this. | Attacking a family-centered faith undermines protections. |
| Freedom of Association | Constitution, Article 21 (1) | Freedom of speech, press, assembly, association. | Persecuting religious groups stifles association, violating collective rights. |
| Protection of Human Rights in Criminal Proceedings | Constitution, Article 12 (5) | Right to prompt counsel; state assigns if needed. | Limited counsel during interrogations breaches safeguards. |
| Prohibition on Retroactive Laws | Constitution, Article 13 (2) | No prosecution for non-crimes at time; no double jeopardy. | Retroactive interpretations mimic punishment, invalidating charges. |
| Right to Work and Welfare | Constitution, Article 32 (1) | Right to work; state promotes employment. | Disrupting peacebuilding work infringes labor rights. |
| Special Consideration for the Elderly in Proceedings | Criminal Procedure Act, Article 282 & Article 71-2 | Mandatory counsel for 70+; considers age in procedures. | Intense questioning disregards elderly safeguards, demanding adjustments. |
| Rescission of Detention | Criminal Procedure Act, Article 93 | Revoke detention if grounds cease. | Health risks and no flight danger qualify for rescission, yet denied. |
| Mandatory Release on Bail | Criminal Procedure Act, Article 95 | Bail shall be allowed absent risks. | Refusal for low-risk elder is unlawful, mandating release. |
| Procedure for Execution of Release on Bail | Criminal Procedure Act, Article 100 | Prompt bail execution procedures. | Failure to apply prolongs injustice. |
| Cancellation of Release on Bail and Detention | Criminal Procedure Act, Article 97 | Cancellation only with justification. | Arbitrary detention abuses power. |
| Special Rules for Criminal Defendant in Prison | Criminal Procedure Act, Article 355 | Accommodations including health. | Harsh conditions violate rules for ill defendants. |
| Request for Release on Bail | Criminal Procedure Act, Article 94 | Accused/counsel may request bail. | Denying requests despite health breaches right. |
| Refund of Bail Money | Criminal Procedure Act, Article 104 | Fair post-release handling. | Indefinite detention prevents resolution. |
| Maximum Detention Periods | Criminal Procedure Act, Article 92 | Limits pre-trial detention; exceptional extensions. | Exceeding for elder exceeds limits. |
| Prohibition on Excessive Interrogation | Criminal Procedure Act, Article 243 | Respect human rights; no excessive duration. | 25-hour sessions constitute inhumane treatment. |
| Right to Medical Care in Detention | Criminal Procedure Act, Article 89 | Necessary medical treatment for detainees. | Denying care for chronic issues endangers life, violating provision. |
| Protection Against Coercion | Criminal Procedure Act, Article 309 | Coerced evidence inadmissible. | Reliance on pressured testimonies undermines case. |
| Prohibition of Discrimination | Constitution, Article 11 (2) | No privileged classes; equality in all life aspects. | Religious discrimination creates inequality, breaching mandate. |
| Freedom from Inhuman Treatment | Constitution, Article 12 (6) | Right to humane treatment if liberty deprived. | Inhumane cell conditions violate humane standards. |
| Right to Petition | Constitution, Article 26 (1) | Right to petition state for redress. | Ignoring health petitions breaches access to justice. |
| Protection of Victims and Witnesses | Criminal Procedure Act, Article 163-2 | Protects vulnerable in investigations. | Treating elder as criminal ignores vulnerability. |
| Right to Compensation for Unlawful Detention | Criminal Procedure Act, Article 198 | Compensation for wrongful detention. | Grounds for future claims, but immediate release prevents further harm. |
| Prohibition on Abuse of Power | Criminal Act, Article 123 | Officials abusing authority punished. | Prosecutorial overreach constitutes abuse, warranting investigation. |
| Right to Religious Practice in Detention | Enforcement Decree of the Administration and Treatment of Correctional Institution Inmates Act, Article 12 | Allows religious activities in prison. | Restricting faith practices violates decree. |
| Elderly Health Promotion | Framework Act on Health, Article 7 | State promotes elderly health. | Detention worsens health, breaching promotion duty. |
| Abuse of Prosecutorial Power in Media Leaks | Prosecutors' Office Act, Article 4; Criminal Act, Article 126 (Defamation) | Prosecutors must act impartially; prohibits spreading false information damaging reputation. | Daily leaks of sensational, unverified claims to media by prosecutors including Min Joong-ki and associates like Choi Jae-hyeon in related scandals, inventing "false information" about bribery and embezzlement, violate impartiality and defame Dr. Moon, fueling public bias and undermining fair trial. |
| Violation of Fair Investigation | Criminal Procedure Act, Article 198-2 | Investigations must respect human rights, avoid bias. | Fabricating controversies around Dr. Moon's projects at Sun Moon University—claiming embezzlement in educational initiatives without evidence—constitutes biased invention to persecute, demanding cessation and truth revelation. |
| Political Funds Act Violation Pretext | Political Funds Act, Article 45 | Prohibits illegal donations by corporations or religious groups. | Using church donations as pretext for prosecution without direct evidence links to Dr. Moon breaches impartiality, as donations were for humanitarian causes, not political gain. |
| Improper Solicitation and Graft Act Abuse | Improper Solicitation and Graft Act, Article 8 | Bans bribes for influence. | Allegations of gifting luxury items lack proof of Dr. Moon's direct involvement, violating due process and turning anti-corruption tools into weapons for religious suppression. |
| Instigation of Evidence Destruction Fabrication | Criminal Act, Article 155 | Penalizes tampering with evidence. | Claims of evidence destruction are baseless, as no tangible proof exists, breaching presumption of innocence and justifying immediate release. |
| Occupational Embezzlement Misapplication | Criminal Act, Article 355 | Penalizes misuse of funds. | Accusations of embezzling church funds for personal gain ignore that funds supported global peace projects, violating property rights and requiring exoneration. |
These violations extend to Korea's ICCPR commitments, including arbitrary detention bans (Article 9), torture prohibitions (Article 7), religious freedom (Article 18), non-discrimination (Article 26), fair trials (Article 14), and equality (Article 26). They also flout UN Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (Nelson Mandela Rules, Rules 1, 24 on health/dignity) and Tokyo Rules on non-custodial measures for vulnerable groups like elders, to which Korea is bound. Amnesty International (2023-2025) and U.S. State Department reports underscore persistent religious discrimination in Korea, urging adherence to avert sanctions. We demand an urgent mercy petition, unconditional release, and full exoneration to rectify these interconnected injustices, thereby pleasing your constituency, enhancing your global image, and averting crisis.
For over six months, the Special Prosecutor's office under Min Joong-ki has unleashed a relentless, systematic onslaught on Dr. Moon, exemplifying abusive authority that undermines Korea's democratic pillars and risks economic repercussions like investor flight and trade disruptions. As one of three probes under your administration targeting the prior conservative regime, it reeks of partisan vendetta, deepening national divisions and contradicting your unity pledges. The May 2025 exit ban, imposed sans charges, inflicted undue stress, equating her to fugitives and violating Constitution Article 14 and Immigration Act Article 4-2. July 18, 2025, raids with excessive force, followed by brutal interrogations—including a 25-hour ordeal on September 17, 2025, days post-surgery—embody cruelty, breaching Constitution Article 12 (2) and Criminal Procedure Act Article 243. Subsequent sessions on September 24 and 29 amplified her agony. The September 22 arrest warrant, premised on fabricated "evidence destruction" fears, mocks due process, as documents were public via internal disputes, invalidating pretexts under Criminal Procedure Act Article 93. Prosecutors, including Min Joong-ki and echoes of past figures like Choi Jae-hyeon in leak scandals, have daily leaked false information to media, inventing sensational claims about bribery and attacks on Sun Moon University projects—without evidence, solely to unjustly persecute Dr. Moon and dismantle her visionary initiatives for global youth education and peace-building. These fakes on her great projects at Sun Moon University, a beacon for intercultural learning since 1994, must stop immediately, with the truth revealed to restore her legacy.
Contemporary Korean journalistic investigations unequivocally affirm her innocence, exposing prosecutorial flaws. The FFWPU categorically denies her involvement, ascribing actions to isolated figures like Yoon Young-ho (arrested August 2025) and Jung Won-ju, with Dr. Moon disavowing knowledge. Reports from The Korea Herald (October 15, 2025), Chosun Ilbo (October 17, 2025), Korea JoongAng Daily (October 15, 2025), Nikkei Asia (September 25, 2025), TV Chosun (October 17, 2025), Channel A News (October 17, 2025), The Economist (October 17, 2025), Monthly Chosun, Al Jazeera (September 23, 2025), The Guardian (September 23, 2025), The Hindu (September 18, 2025), South China Morning Post, Religion News Service (September 17, 2025), Yonhap News (October 17, 2025), Human Rights Without Frontiers (September 20, 2025), The New York Times (September 23, 2025), Reuters (September 22, 2025), The Washington Times (October 22, 2025), and Courthouse News Service portray this as a partisan witch hunt amid instability, leveraging FFWPU as a conservative proxy, with coerced confessions, no direct links, flipped testimonies, lack of forensic evidence, and flawed processes labeled "overreach," "bogus," "false charges," "disgrace to democracy," and "attempted assassination of faith." Bitter Winter's October 10 exposé terms it a "democratic descent into repression," while The New York Times (September 23) and Reuters (September 22) note denials and political motivations, with no substantial proof.
The worldwide mobilization for Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon's freedom is monumental, transcending borders, religions, and politics, with unprecedented scale that could bolster your leadership if channeled
positively. • Seoul Detention Center Vigil: As of October 20, 2025, thousands maintain 24/7 prayers in Uiwang, Gyeonggi Province, braving elements with chants, banners, and assemblies for justice, per Family Federation reports.

These endorsements, amplified in Associated Press (October 9-10), UPF, FOREF Europe (September 22), and Religion Media Centre (October 20, 2025), position this as a watershed human rights crisis, with leaders warning of fallout if unresolved. We implore media, society, and all sectors to champion a fair understanding rooted in facts and truth, combating distortions that fuel injustice and standing with Holy Mother Han as the sole holifier with Highest God’s direct Holiness for all Koreans and 8B+ God’s children—humanity.
Since its inception in 1954 in war-torn Seoul by Rev. Sun Myung Moon amid the Korean War's devastation—where North Korean invasions left millions dead, displaced, and the economy in ruins—the Unification Church (now FFWPU) has served as an indispensable cornerstone of South Korea's resilience, miraculous economic rise, cultural renaissance, national security, and global influence, contributing trillions in value through direct investments, ideological fortification, and peace diplomacy. Born from Rev. Moon's five-year survival in North Korean labor camps, it evolved into a global force for anti-communism, societal rebuilding, and harmony, aiding Korea and the world in multifaceted ways: • Anti-Communism and National Defense: Rev. Moon's experiences fueled a robust defense against communism; the 1975 Yeouido rally mobilized 1.2 million, reinforcing South Korea's ideological barriers during the Cold War; the 1968 International Federation for Victory Over Communism (IFVOC) educated millions on threats, preventing subversion in Korea, Japan, and Latin America, supporting Park Chung-hee's stabilization, and influencing U.S.-Korea alliances (Wikipedia, Britannica, APJJF.org, Nippon.com, The Diplomat, January 19, 2023). CAUSA initiatives aided democratic transitions in Central/South America. • Economic and Media Contributions: Investments in Segye Ilbo, Tongil Group conglomerates (machinery, tourism, exports creating thousands of jobs), and educational institutions like Sun Moon University—fostering global leaders since 1994—propelled the Han River Miracle; globally, The Washington Times (1982) shaped anti-communist policies, democracy promotion, and U.S.-Korea ties, while business ventures generated billions in revenue for Korea's industrialization (FamilyFed.org, ResearchGate, EBSCO). • Cultural Diplomacy: The Little Angels Children's Folk Ballet (1962) toured 60+ countries, promoting Korean heritage, earning UN accolades, and enhancing soft power; mass blessings united diverse couples, advancing interracial harmony and UN SDGs (UPF.org, ReligionFacts.com). • Pioneering Peace Efforts: UPF and WFWP (UN ECOSOC status) mediate conflicts; Rev. Moon's 1991 Kim Il-sung summit pioneered North-South dialogue pre-official channels, laying reunification foundations; recent movements rallied 20,000+ for peace (GlobalPeace.org, November 2, 2023; CS.Cornell.edu, FCCJ.or.jp). • Humanitarian Impact: Trillions in aid for disasters (COVID-19 vaccines to millions, 2011 Japan tsunami reconstruction, Hurricane Katrina relief), education in Africa/Asia (schools for 100,000+ children), post-war Korean rebuilding, environmental initiatives (tree-planting campaigns covering millions of hectares), women's empowerment (training 500,000+ leaders), and youth programs (intercultural exchanges for 1 million+ participants) (FamilyFedIHQ.org, TParents.org). Persecuting Dr. Moon dismantles this legacy, potentially isolating Korea economically (lost investments from church networks), diplomatically (strained U.S. ties), and spiritually, as analysts warn in The Diplomat and Nippon.com.
President Lee Jae-myung, your visionary progressive agenda—centered on equity, anti-corruption, social welfare, gender equality, and national reconciliation—uniquely positions you to rectify this injustice, forging an immortal legacy as a compassionate reformer. Releasing Dr. Moon harmonizes with your principles, averts disaster, amplifies your leadership, pleases your base, and garners global acclaim. Consider these 80 interconnected, logically sequenced arguments for her immediate release, building from humanitarian urgency to strategic global benefits, each reinforcing why this decision will please you and secure Korea's future:
- Humanitarian Imperative to Avert Tragedy: At 83, post-heart surgery, with symptoms like dark circles, dry skin, red face, and painkiller reliance after 31 days, detention risks lethal elder abuse, violating Welfare of Senior Citizens Act Article 2(4), 39-2, and Constitution Article 34(5). Release exemplifies your welfare focus, averting scandal.
- Constitutional and Legal Compliance: Rampant breaches (Articles 10, 12, 20) undermine rule of law; invoke Criminal Procedure Act Articles 93, 95, 94, 97, 100, 104, 92, 243, 89, 309 for release, shielding from ICCPR sanctions and aligning with your anti-corruption ethos.
