SHOCKING: 83-Year-Old Nobel Nominee Still Behind Bars
Press Release for Immediate Global Distribution & Open Letter: SHOCKING: 83-Year-Old Nobel Nominee Still Behind Bars in Korea – Global Call Grows for President Lee to Liberate Innocent Mother of Peace
April 2, 2026 | Seoul, Republic of Korea
To Her Holiness Holy Mother Han, the True Mother of Peace; His Excellency President Lee Jae-myung; Esteemed Members of the National Assembly; the Honorable Citizens of the Republic of Korea; and 8 Billion Fellow Human Beings Worldwide:
We are truly sorry.
An 83-year-old grandmother who has devoted 65 years to healing Korea’s divisions, strengthening families, and spreading messages of reconciliation across continents now receives a third temporary medical suspension from Seoul Detention Center until April 30. As of today, Holy Mother Han has spent approximately 192 days behind bars since her arrest on September 22, 2025, still awaiting a final verdict.
Global News Headlines Summary Holy Mother Han steps out temporarily amid worldwide celebration. Rallies and demonstrations swell at Korean and Japanese embassies. Millions pray daily for her full freedom. #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace gains momentum while active conflicts rage in roughly 100 countries — half our planet — from Ukraine and Sudan to the Middle East, Myanmar, and beyond. Her complete release, supporters believe, would bring sanctifying hope and help usher in ultimate global peace this year.
South Korean media, including MBC, reported the court’s compassionate decision allowing hospital treatment for her serious health challenges: recent falls causing intense pain, severe nosebleeds, vision impairment, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, chest discomfort, and significant weight loss. Yet even from detention on March 8, she shared an inspiring message now echoing globally: “Our Heavenly Parent is surely alive and is still working today… Heavenly Parent’s dream will surely be fulfilled. Therefore, no matter what circumstances we face, we must not become discouraged but move forward with faith in Heavenly Parent.”
This week, the world raised its voice. South Korean Christian pastors convened an emergency press conference at the National Assembly, highlighting threats to religious freedom. Interfaith leaders and citizens gathered in Gwanghwamun Square. Peaceful rallies erupted at Korean and Japanese embassies in Washington D.C., New York, Europe, Asia, and beyond. Activists, millions of praying hearts, presidents, VIPs, global stars, and religious leaders from every continent stood together in solidarity.
Outlets worldwide — Reuters, Al Jazeera, The New York Times, Asahi Shimbun, Segye Ilbo, KBS, Yonhap, and many more in every language — covered the developments and growing outcry. Social media pulses 24/7 with #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace and #AllWarsCease2026. The Universal Peace Federation and Global Peace Building Network (GNet) join everyday citizens in this movement.
The deeper truth feels profoundly human: When a guiding maternal figure suffers, the whole family feels the tremor. When she is free and radiant with joy, every heart, every nation, and every corner of Earth can breathe easier toward peace.
Right now, active conflicts touch dozens of major zones, impacting approximately 100 countries — half the world. Humanity often seems like lost children yearning for wise, unifying guidance.
What are we waiting for?
Born in 1943 in Japanese-occupied Korea (later enduring communist persecution and the Korean War as a young refugee), Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon married Reverend Sun Myung Moon at age 17. Together they raised 14 children while building a global movement centered on peace, interfaith dialogue, women’s leadership, and “true families” as the foundation for harmony. She co-founded the Women’s Federation for World Peace (active in over 150 nations), the Universal Peace Federation (spanning more than 200 countries), and the Sunhak Peace Prize. Her initiatives have brought together parliamentarians, religious leaders, youth, former heads of state, and everyday people for dialogue and service.
For 65 years she has quietly supported Korea’s journey: rallying citizens against division, inspiring economic and moral renewal that contributed to the “Miracle on the Han River,” and advancing reconciliation efforts — including historic engagements that helped shift regional dynamics. Across administrations and parties, Korean presidents and leaders have drawn strength from her consistent call for unity and ethical renewal. That same spirit of national harmony helped foster the hopeful climate that carried President Lee Jae-myung to victory in the June 2025 election. Yet the nation she has long served held her in pre-trial detention without final judgment — until compassionate medical suspensions offered brief relief.
We are pleased to share that Dr. Hak Ja Han has been nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. The nomination recognizes her decades of work in interreligious dialogue, humanitarian service, peacebuilding on the Korean Peninsula, family values, and international cooperation. This honor invites reflection on the leadership our divided world needs most: one rooted in reconciliation, service, human dignity, and long-term commitment to healing.
The logical path ahead is clear and urgent: Only the immediate, permanent, and full release of the Mother of Peace can help holify our planet, restore hearts, and enable ALL WARS TO CEASE in 2026. Her lifetime of turning personal hardship into bridge-building — from refugee survival to global platforms for unity — shows how one person’s moral conviction and faith can still drive meaningful change, even alongside secular institutions and diplomacy.
Every Korean citizen and every global human being — the moment to stand and act is today. Here is how each of us can contribute practically and powerfully right now:
- Protest peacefully and immediately. Gather at Gwanghwamun Square, the National Assembly, or Seoul Detention Center with respectful banners celebrating her 65-year legacy of service. Demonstrations continue at Korean and Japanese embassies worldwide. Livestream, share photos, and amplify the message — one post can reach millions.
- Flood media and social platforms with hope. Send this open letter and her inspiring messages to Yonhap, KBS, Reuters, BBC, CNN, Al Jazeera, and local outlets. Post on X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube. Keep #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace and #AllWarsCease2026 trending daily. Join the millions already praying.
- Reach leaders directly and daily. Use Korea’s e-government portals (epeople.go.kr and assembly.go.kr) to send courteous letters to President Lee Jae-myung and National Assembly members: “For 65 years she supported Korea’s unity and helped create the spirit that aided your victory. Please grant full mercy and release Holy Mother Han immediately.” Copy the UN Human Rights Office. Repeat with compassion.
- Live the True Love Revolution every day. Visit 1gpb.net and join GNet activities. Each day: forgive one person, share a family unity moment, participate in interfaith prayer, or serve as a Local Peace Ambassador. Create consistent online and offline impact across social media 24/7 — turning personal hearts into planetary healing.
President Lee Jae-myung, honorable members of the National Assembly, dear citizens of Korea, and brothers and sisters worldwide: This 83-year-old woman is not a threat — she is a cherished moral compass, grandmother of peace, and living example of resilience. We deeply regret the hardship she has faced and cannot accept further unnecessary delay.
Free Holy Mother Han now and fully. Let her sacred mission of healing and unity resume. Let Korea shine as the nation that honors its elders, protects faith, and leads toward genuine oneness. Make 2026 the year the Mother of Peace walks free — and every conflict on Earth yields to True Love.
The time is now. Stand up. Act daily with compassion and courage. The world is watching — and hoping.
