Late last year, Busan Segeyro Church Pastor Son Hyung-bo was imprisoned for months on charges of election law violations after leading rallies against Mr. Lee\u2019s candidacy.<\/p>\n<p>The spiritual head of the federation in South Korea, Han Hak-ja, 83, is hospitalized after being held since September following detention on charges of attempting to bribe the former first lady with gifts of two Chanel bags, a Graff diamond necklace and ginseng extract tea. She has denied the allegations but faces a return to jail if she recovers from health issues that include a heart condition, glaucoma and trauma from falls.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors on Friday demanded a 13-year sentence for Mrs. Han.<\/p>\n<p>The cases have triggered a public debate on where the firewall between religion and politics should lie. The Shincheonji case also sparked global attention: Conservative U.S. influencer Charlie Kirk had met Rev. Son just days before being assassinated by a shooter in Utah.<\/p>\n<p>In Japan, the federation\u2019s woes escalated after the 2022 murder of former Japanese Premier Shinzo Abe by Tetsuya Yamagami, who said he was infuriated by his mother\u2019s donations to the church when he was growing up. Abe was targeted as politicians in his party had been supported by the federation, which, it says, promotes conservative family values and the peaceful downfall of communism.<\/p>\n<p>During Yamagami\u2019s sentencing, the Japanese court essentially dismissed the killer\u2019s motive, saying, \u201cthere is no substantial room to give weight to the motive for and circumstances leading to the offenses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aside from religious activities, the federation\u2019s organization in the United States operates a range of businesses, including The Washington Times.<\/p>\n<p>High-profile Americans have excoriated the decision in Japan, and U.S. officials have visited Korea to probe legal attacks on religious figures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFree societies, at their core, must maintain religious freedom: It is the human right of the soul,\u201d said former U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Brownback, former ambassador-at-large for the State Department\u2019s International Religious Freedom Office, said the forced dissolution of a legitimate church by the government undermines a \u201ccornerstone right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tokyo\u2019s precedent is being watched in Seoul.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very dangerous because South Korea is looking at Japan and trying to pass a new law for dissolution of religious organizations,\u201d said Patricia Duval, a lawyer who specializes in international human rights law.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tokyo bulldozes a church<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Members of the federation in Japan were accused of coercing followers into making donations and buying overpriced religious trinkets. The federation says donations were voluntary, some were returned and \u201cspiritual sales\u201d \u2014 the marketing of religious artifacts at prices critics say far exceed their value \u2014 ended decades ago.<\/p>\n<p>Norishige Kondo, who formerly headed the FFWPU Japan\u2019s legal department, recently told reporters at the Brussels Press Club that no laws were broken \u2014 case legalities were civil torts, not criminal charges \u2014 but the Supreme Court decision renders dissolution irreversible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImagine for a moment your own place of worship, and imagine [government liquidators] arriving 15 minutes after the ruling, ordering you to leave immediately,\u201d said Rev. Kimihiro Okamitsu, former pastor of Shinjuku Family Church.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, he pleaded with liquidators to allow a scheduled funeral to take place. They said the funeral could proceed \u2014 but the condition imposed was \u201cdeeply humiliating:\u201d Rev. Okamitsu was not allowed to conduct services as a pastor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe deceased had attended the church for 25 years,\u201d the reverend said. \u201cWhy could that person not have a final farewell in the church he had loved?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some 300 federation churches across Japan are in liquidation, demolishing a religious community raised since 1959.<\/p>\n<p>Since its founding in 1987, an organization of Japanese attorneys known as the National Network of Lawyers Against Spiritual Sales has pursued the Unification Church over the sales.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=3899\">Trump rolls back protections for habitats of endangered species<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Attorney Hiroshi Yamaguchi, who helped found the network, had a history with the federation\u2019s churches that predated the network\u2019s founding: He represented the Socialist Party in a defamation suit brought by the International Federation for Victory Over Communism, a case the party lost in 1994. The network went on to file thousands of compensation claims against the church over four decades but did not formally petition for its dissolution until October 2022, months after Abe\u2019s assassination.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Kondo said 60% of the claims made by the network are from former followers who have been psychologically \u201cdeprogrammed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ax looms over Korean churches<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A \u201cPartial Amendment to the Civic Act\u201d was filed by Cho Hyuk-jin, a liberal, independent lawmaker, in Seoul on Jan. 9. It has gained a nickname in Korean media that describes its contents: \u201cThe Church Dissolution Act.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Its background is the downfall of the conservative Yoon Suk Yeol administration, which imploded after Mr. Yoon declared martial law in December 2024. Backlash was immediate: Martial law was overturned, and the ensuing uproar fueled Mr. Lee\u2019s bid for the presidency.<\/p>\n<p>After Mr. Lee\u2019s administration took office in June 2025, multiple probes were aimed at those alleged to have engaged in corrupt relationships with the prior administration.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a broader background. Conservative preachers in some Protestant churches have a tradition of rallying against liberal administrations.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Lee of Shincheonji is accused of ordering believers to join Mr. Yoon\u2019s People Power Party, or PPP, to gain political influence.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Han, the widow of church founder Sun Myung Moon, is accused of bribing former first lady Kim Keon-hee, now serving an 11-year term for corruption in return for political favors.<\/p>\n<p>The federation insists the bribery was the work of a rogue executive acting independently.<\/p>\n<p>South Korea\u2019s proposed legislation, if passed, would grant the government the right to dissolve religious groups, seize their assets and otherwise control religious activities.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Lee reportedly agreed, in a meeting with mainstream religious leaders in January, that it would be desirable if both the federation and Shincheonji were dismantled.<\/p>\n<p>But South Korea\u2019s constitution throws up barriers.<\/p>\n<p>Article 19 states, \u201cAll citizens shall enjoy freedom of conscience.\u201d Article 20 reads \u201cAll citizens shall enjoy freedom of religion\u201d and \u201cReligion and state shall be separated.\u201d Article 21 states, \u201cAll citizens shall enjoy freedom of speech \u2026 and freedom of assembly and association.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Opponents of the legislation are sounding the alarm in South Korea and appealing for help worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe PPP maintains that freedom of religion is a fundamental right guaranteed by the constitution and states that it will make every effort to prevent the passage of the \u2019Church Dissolution Act,\u2019\u201d the conservative party said in a written response to The Washington Times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike any democratic country around the world, Korea acknowledges freedom of religion for all citizens,\u201d party leader Jang Dong-hyeok told foreign reporters. \u201cBut with the Lee Jae-myung government, this important value has been significantly infringed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, if Mr. Lee\u2019s ruling party gets a bit in its teeth, the PPP\u2019s ability to oppose the legislation could crumble. Not only did it lose the presidency after Mr. Yoon\u2019s epic blunder, but it also earlier lost the National Assembly \u2013 the DPK\u2019s control of the house was a major frustration behind the martial law declaration \u2014 and most recently, lost June local elections.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Washington is watching<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Early this month, a U.S. delegation including Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Riley Barnes, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for DRL Julie Turner, White House Faith Liaison Belsis Romero and embassy officials visited Busan Segeyro Church and met Rev. Son.<\/p>\n<p>Their findings are expected to be featured in reports later this year.<\/p>\n<p>Rev. Son\u2019s son, Chance, said the bill\u2019s momentum has been \u201ceffectively stalled,\u201d but it remains before the Assembly\u2019s Legislation and Judicial Committee.<\/p>\n<p>If it is revived, \u201cWe are ready to respond promptly and biblically,\u201d Mr. Son warned.<\/p>\n<p>But he prays for assistance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt this point, we have no information about what specific positions the U.S. government may adopt or what action, if any, it may take,\u201d he said. \u201cWe continue to pray and hope that the U.S., as an ally that values religious liberty, will stand firmly for freedom of faith in Korea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=3897\">Hegseth cancels suspension of Apache pilots grounded after July 4 beach flyover<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japan and South Korea are both prosperous, successful democracies and core American allies &#8212; but both Asian powerhouses have, in recent months, cracked down on religious freedom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3902,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,62],"tags":[2345,1119,498],"class_list":["post-3903","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-world","tag-family-federation-for-world-peace-and-unification","tag-japan","tag-south-korea"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
