Скачать или смотреть American Archbishop's Tearful Plea: “Open the Doors” for Dr. Hak Ja Han

At a Korean Christian Leadership Conference (KCLC), Archbishop Solange Lewis—a prominent New York-based minister and co-chair of the American Clergy Leadership Conference—delivered an emotional appeal for the immediate release of Dr. Hak Ja Han, the 82-year-old co-founder of the Unification Church detained since September 2025 on charges without evidence.

Visibly moved, Lewis urged global fasting and prayer, describing Dr. Han as a figure who has given only “love that covers the world” and expressing hope that “before I leave Korea” the detention center doors would open.

The archbishop’s visit and public cry for divine intervention come amid mounting international concern from Christian leaders across denominations who question the proportionality of keeping an elderly woman with documented health issues in custody for months without trial.

This moment matters for society, because when clergy from abroad travel to plead for one detained leader’s freedom, it signals a broader worry: that religious figures critical of or independent from state narratives may face disproportionate legal pressure in a country long celebrated for its post-authoritarian pluralism.

When a respected American archbishop stands in Seoul asking God to “open the doors” for an 82-year-old grandmother behind bars, is the world witnessing justice—or the quiet marginalization of voices that challenge the status quo?
