"We call for the immediate release of Mother Han [co-founder and spiritual leader of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification]. We call for the restoration of due process. We call for an end to the ideological persecution of religious leaders in South Korea. This is not just about one woman. It is about the soul of a nation. It is about whether South Korea will remain a democracy that respects religious freedom—or become a satellite of China, a state where faith is punished, and dissent is criminalized. Let the world watch. Let the world speak. And let South Korea remember: the true strength of a nation lies not in its power to prosecute, but in its courage to protect the freedoms that make it whole."
