IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRESS RELEASE & OPEN LETTER
Seoul, Republic of Korea – April 18, 2026To Her Holiness Holy Mother Han, the Eternal Mother of Peace;
His Excellency President Lee Jae-myung;
the Honorable Citizens of the Republic of Korea; and
8 Billion Fellow Global Citizens:We are truly sorry.President Lee Jae-myung, honorable citizens of Korea, and every person yearning for lasting peace — we offer this heartfelt apology from our shared conscience. For 208 days since her arrest on September 23, 2025, the woman who devoted 65 unbroken years to strengthening Korean families, fostering national unity, and building the moral foundation that helped carry leaders like you to victory has faced prolonged detention without a final conviction or verdict.

As of April 18, 2026, Dr. Hak Ja Han — Holy Mother Han — remains under her third court-authorized medical suspension, recovering in hospital after shoulder surgery on April 14. The injury stemmed from repeated falls in her small Seoul Detention Center cell in January. Despite quiet requests for painkillers and her dignified composure, the damage went undiagnosed for months until hospital evaluation. An 83-year-old recovering from prior cardiac surgery, she never complained loudly or demanded special treatment. A former political prisoner from communist Czechoslovakia publicly noted her conditions exceeded what he endured in 1974. Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo described elements of the case as lawfare. Yet on April 3, she received a formal 2026 Nobel Peace Prize nomination from former EU Special Envoy Dr. Ján Figeľ, recognizing her decades of interfaith dialogue, family strengthening, and global peacebuilding.

On April 10, South Korea’s Joint Investigation Headquarters fully cleared her in the collusion and bribery probe, citing insufficient evidence or expired statutes of limitations. That chapter closed, yet she continues facing hardship.

65 Years of Quiet Service to Korea and HumanitySince marrying Rev. Sun Myung Moon in 1960 at age 17, Holy Mother Han has served as a steady force for Korea’s Miracle on the Han River and humanity’s broader quest for unity. She stood beside generations of Korean presidents, offering spiritual and moral encouragement that healed divided families, promoted reconciliation, and cultivated a spirit of True Love and harmony. This foundation helped foster the national resilience and unity that supported leaders, including the current administration, in their rise. Even from her hospital bed, she continues blessing families and calling for peace. She has advanced the Heavenly Ultimate Peace Kingdom vision and proclaimed holification initiatives across continents — practical blueprints for living as One Family Under God.Today, with active conflicts involving dozens of state-based wars and broader violence affecting many nations (half the world touched by instability in various forms), her maternal heart of peace feels more vital than ever. Supporters worldwide see a clear pattern: when the Mother of Peace is sidelined, humanity trembles; when she is free to radiate her mission, hearts and nations move toward healing and reconciliation. Only her Holiness holifies and heals the planet — fulfilling deepest desires for ultimate global peace this year.This Week’s Global AwakeningSocial media in every language, South Korean outlets, and international reports exploded with rallies and demonstrations at Korean and Japanese embassies. Korean activists, millions of praying individuals, presidents, VIPs, global stars, and religious leaders gathered in places like Gwanghwamun Square, the National Assembly, and Seoul Detention Center. Updates from familyfedihq.org and 1gpb.net/en/global-activities, along with live streams across platforms, fueled the surging #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace and #AllWarsCease2026 movement.

A Personal Invitation to Every Human BeingThis is your call to join the generation that chooses peace. What are we waiting for? With over 100 countries impacted by conflict or instability right now, the question is urgent: If releasing the Mother of Peace truly accelerates holification and helps all wars cease in 2026, what will YOU do daily?PRACTICAL, IMMEDIATE ACTIONS FOR EVERY KOREAN AND GLOBAL CITIZEN Stand today — act with compassion and courage:

Please grant full mercy, issue a public apology, and release Holy Mother Han immediately.” Copy the UN Human Rights Office. Act with respect and persistence.

President Lee Jae-myung, honorable National Assembly members, dear citizens of Korea, and brothers and sisters worldwide: This 83-year-old woman is not a threat — she is our cherished moral compass, grandmother of peace, and living example of resilience. We deeply regret the hardships faced by her and the Family Federation. We cannot accept unnecessary delay.We therefore call for:

• A public apology from President Lee Jae-myung to Holy Mother Han;
• Her immediate, permanent, and full release;
• Fair resolution and compensation for damages suffered.

Free Holy Mother Han now. Let her sacred mission of healing and unity resume fully. Let Korea shine as the nation that honors its elders, protects faith, and leads toward genuine oneness.

The world watches — and hopes.This is more than news. It is your personal invitation to the generation that finally chooses lasting peace.With urgent hope and unwavering compassion,
