In a heartfelt video message, Pastor Thomas Hoy, Evangelist Niecy Bonneville, Pastor Karmen Johnson and Rev. Marcus Clark, all religious leaders from New Life Ministry Church in the United States reach out to Dr. Hak Ja Han, the 82-year-old leader of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, currently detained in South Korea over two months.

The pastors call her imprisonment "unjust," urging her to "never deny Jesus Christ" and assuring her that "God is gonna free you from the bondage that man put you in." Elder Karmen Johnson speaks of honoring the "sacrifice" Dr. Han is making, comparing her to martyrs described in scripture and reminding her that she is "not alone" and "loved" by believers around the world.

Dr. Han's detention is not an isolated case. Under President Lee Jae-myung's administration, multiple religious leaders have been targeted. Pastor Son Hyun-bo of Segeroh Presbyterian Church has been detained for nearly 50 days. Offices of Pastor Lee Young-hoon, leader of the world's largest Pentecostal congregation Yoido Full Gospel Church, were raided.

Critics, including former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, have called this a betrayal of democratic principles and an alarming assault on religious liberty. Supporters of the detained leaders argue this is political persecution disguised as anti-corruption enforcement.

When faith communities across the globe unite to speak out for those imprisoned for their beliefs, it signals something significant is happening. Is South Korea experiencing a genuine anti-corruption effort—or a crackdown on religious freedom?

“Former Speaker Gingrich is practically the third highest ranking figure in the United States. He is also one of Trump’s closest aides, his mentor, and a supporter. For such a person to publish advertisements openly in Korean newspapers is no small matter. This is serious. In fact, it can be seen as open pressure.” - Kang Sin-eop

The Korea–U.S. Alliance Is a Values Alliance
by Newt Gingrich

The recent arrest of Unification Church President Dr. Hak Ja Han is more than a religious matter.

It raises serious questions about democratic values, religious freedom, and civic space in a key ally of the United States.

For decades in the U.S. Congress and public life, I have consistently emphasized that religious freedom, human rights, and democracy are essential to global stability.
From that perspective, the judicial actions taken by the Korean government should not be regarded lightly.

In free societies, religious leaders are not arrested for their religious activities or the way they run their church. To do so, would constitute a direct infringement of the core democratic principle of freedom of religion and conscience.

Religious freedom specifically is a foundational pillar of democracy. This is precisely why the United States strictly upholds the separation of church and state and blocks state intervention in religious affairs.

However, the Korean government’s actions appear to involve direct state intrusion into the legitimate activities of a religious leader. This should be a real red flag to American leaders.

Dr. Han has led a faith community for many decades, and her work fundamentally belongs to the religious sphere. The moment the government attempts to intervene in that sphere, the principles of Korean democracy are shaken.

This action has also drawn international criticism as an example of excessive use of state power.

There is a clear course of action that Korean judicial authorities should take. They should withdraw the excessive detention measures against Dr. Han (who has not been convicted of any crimes) and immediately release her. This would reaffirm the principles of freedom that Korea’s democracy has long upheld.

Korea and the United States are not merely allies. They are nations bound together through shared values of freedom. To preserve those values, Korea must not set a shameful precedent of violating religious freedom.

I must also highlight the international concern regarding the politicization of Korea’s judicial system.
One of the most dangerous signs in any democracy is “selective justice”—
and the politicization of law enforcement.

Finally, the contributions of the Unification Church must also be recognized. For decades, the church has engaged in public-interest work such as promoting peace on the Korean Peninsula, easing inter-Korean tensions, facilitating cultural exchange through international marriage, and conducting large-scale global volunteer initiatives.

While controversies and criticism have existed, hastily labeling such an organization and its leader as a criminal group is a grave misjudgment.
Dr. Han is 82 years old and has long been an international advocate for peace, family values, and interfaith dialogue. Detaining her raises obvious concerns about fairness, proportionality, and the public interest.
The arrest of a religious leader in these circumstances risks provoking new social conflict,
wasting national energy, and eroding of the spirit of tolerance that should define a democratic society.

I strongly urge the Korean government and judiciary to reconsider their actions and to handle this matter in accordance with democratic standards.

Pre-trial detention should be a last resort, especially for an elderly religious leader. Its humanitarian and societal consequences must be carefully weighed.

The United States understands well the principles that a free society must protect.
Korea, too, shares this philosophy.

I hope that both nations reaffirm their common values and that this incident, rather than weakening Korean democracy, becomes an opportunity to strengthen it.
The case of Dr. Han isn’t an isolated issue concerning one religious group. It is a test of democracy, religious freedom, and national dignity.

I sincerely hope that Korea passes this test wisely, and I once again call upon the Korean government and President Lee Jae-myung to make the right decision.

韓鶴子総裁の釈放を求める広告を掲載したギングリッチ氏――「韓国政府は宗教の自由を侵害する前例を残してはならない」

米国の代表的な保守派政治家であるニュート・ギングリッチ元米下院議長が、韓国の新聞にハン・ハクチャ統一教総裁の釈放を求める広告を掲載した。
ギングリッチ元議長は24日、一部韓国メディアに「韓米同盟は価値同盟である」という題名の紙面広告を出した。ギングリッチ氏は米国を代表する保守派政治家の一人であり、ドナルド・トランプ前大統領の側近としても知られる。
ギングリッチ氏は広告の中で「私は数十年にわたって米国議会および公共領域で活動する中で、宗教の自由、人権、民主主義は世界の安定にとって核心的要素であると一貫して強調してきた」と述べたうえで、「自由社会において、宗教活動や教会運営の方式を理由に宗教指導者が逮捕されることはない。もしそうであるなら、それは宗教の自由と良心の自由という核心的な民主主義原則を正面から侵害する行為である」と強調した。
さらに、ハン総裁を拘束した韓国政府に対し「今回の措置は、宗教指導者の正当な活動に国家が直接介入したものと見なされる」と指摘し、「これは米国の指導層にとっても深刻な警告信号（red flag）となり得る」と述べた。
ギングリッチ氏は「ハン総裁は数十年にわたり信仰共同体を導いてきた人物であり、その活動は本質的に宗教の領域に属する」とし、「政府がその領域を侵害する瞬間、韓国の民主主義の原則は揺らぐことになる」と警告した。
また「統一教会は長年にわたり、朝鮮半島の平和促進、南北関係の緩和、国際的な文化交流、大規模なグローバル奉仕活動などを行ってきた」とした上で、「論争や批判が全くなかったとは言えないが、だからといってこの団体と指導者を性急に『犯罪集団』と規定するのは重大な誤判断になり得る」と述べた。
ギングリッチ氏はさらに、韓国と米国の同盟は「自由」という共通の価値によって結ばれていると強調し、「韓国は宗教の自由を侵害する不名誉な前例を残してはならない」と呼びかけた。
また「ハン総裁は82歳の高齢で、長年にわたり国際社会で平和、家族の価値、宗教間対話を強調してきた人物だ」とし、「このような指導者を拘束することは、公正性、比例性、公益性の観点から深刻な疑問を提起する」と述べた。
「拘束はあくまで最後の手段であるべきであり、とりわけ高齢の宗教指導者に適用する場合、その社会的・人道的波紋をより慎重に考慮すべきである」と重ねて強調した。
ギングリッチ元議長は最後に「韓国政府とイ・ジェミョン大統領が正しい決断を下すことを改めて強く求める」とし、「この事件は民主主義、宗教の自由、そして国家の品格が試される事件である」と述べた。

[The Monarch Report @monarchreport25]

South Korea is experiencing an unprecedented crackdown on religious freedom that should alarm anyone who values democratic principles. Since the election of President Lee Jae-myung in June 2025, special prosecutors have systematically targeted religious leaders and organizations perceived as opposing the government.

The 82-year-old Dr. Hak Ja Han, a globally recognized peace advocate, was arrested on September 22nd without clear evidence, while Pastor Sun Hyun Bo of one of Korea's largest Presbyterian churches was detained for allegedly supporting conservative candidates. Government forces have raided major religious institutions including the Yeouido Full Gospel Church and Far East Broadcasting, yet months later, no concrete evidence of wrongdoing has been presented.

This pattern of arrests without evidence, combined with proposed laws that could imprison citizens for five years for criticizing China, represents a dangerous shift away from democratic values.

What makes this particularly concerning for the international community is that South Korea has long been considered a bastion of democracy in Asia, protected by American military presence and upheld as a model of religious freedom.

The systematic targeting of religious leaders - from elderly peace advocates to prominent pastors - mirrors tactics used by authoritarian regimes to silence dissent and consolidate power. International religious leaders like Pastor Mark Burns and Prophet Samuel Radebe have traveled to Korea to protest these injustices, recognizing that when religious freedom falls in one democracy, it threatens freedom everywhere.

The raids, arrests, and media campaigns against faith communities aren't just isolated incidents - they're part of a coordinated effort to reshape Korean society.

At what point do we stop calling it justice—and start calling it religious persecution?

What an extraordinary example of true leadership. Rev. Moon and Dr. Hak Ja Han showed that peace isn’t won through force, but through courage, forgiveness, and visionary action. They turned former enemies into partners and planted seeds of hope where politics failed.
