International Petition Demands House Arrest for 95-Year-Old Peace Ambassador Man Hee Lee

International Petition Demands House Arrest for 95-Year-Old Peace Ambassador Man Hee Lee

Neuhofen, Rhein-Pfalz-Kreis / Seoul. In an urgent appeal addressed to the leadership of the Republic of Korea, German journalist, author, and human rights advocate Andreas Klamm has launched an international petition. The initiative directly petitions the South Korean President, the Minister of Justice, and the presiding judges of the court. At the center of the petition is a request for clemency and leniency for the nearly 96-year-old Peace Ambassador, Chairman of Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), and leader of the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Man Hee Lee.

Citing the advanced age and fragile health of the accused, the initiative requests that pre-trial prison detention be converted into house arrest with electronic monitoring until a formal, public judicial trial takes place.

Call for Proportion and Humanitarian Consideration

In the petition, the initiator explicitly emphasizes full respect for the independence of the South Korean judiciary. The initiative does not seek to prejudge the outcome of an independent trial or interfere with the court’s evaluation of the allegations. Instead, the focus remains strictly on humanitarian grounds: Man Hee Lee is nearly 96 years old, in poor health, and a decorated veteran of the Korean War. His painful personal experiences during the war inspired him more than four decades ago to dedicate his life to international peace initiatives, interreligious dialogue, and free access to faith-based education.

Supporters worldwide have joined the appeal, which has been published in multiple languages—including German, English, Korean, French, Tagalog, Esperanto, Latin, Arabic, and Chinese—to draw international attention to the importance of proportionate detention conditions.

Broad Commitment to Human Rights and Peace

Andreas Klamm, who authored and signed the petition as Chairman and Founder of LovePeacePeople.org, Liberty and Peace NOW! Human Rights Reporters, and Regionalhilfe.de, underscores the necessity of human dignity, human rights, and humanitarian consideration within the framework of a constitutional state.

The petition remains open to the public, inviting supporters globally to advocate for a balance between due process and humanitarian leniency.

In God We Trust Calls on President to Celebrate National Day of Prayer Despite Court Ruling

In God We Trust Calls on President to Celebrate National Day of Prayer Despite Court Ruling

MEDIA ADVISORY, April 16 /Christian Newswire/ — The national advocacy group In God We Trust today called on the Obama Administration to continue to vigorously defend the National Day of Prayer in court and for the President to issue the traditional Presidential proclamation next month despite a court ruling yesterday that the National Day of Prayer was unconstitutional.

“Prayer is never unconstitutional,” says Bishop Council Nedd, In God We Trust’s National Chairman. “American Presidents have led this nation in prayer since its founding. Yesterday’s court ruling declaring the National Day of Prayer unconstitutional is one of the most egregious examples of out of control judges making law from the bench. To say the President of the United States cannot say a prayer, or lead the nation that elected him in prayer, is violating his first amendment rights. Celebrating the National Day of Prayer does not force anyone to believe in anything. It is simply recognizing the fact that an overwhelming number of Americans believe in God and that prayer plays an important role in American culture. The Administration must appeal this decision and the President should still issue the traditional proclamation next May. Anything less will be considered a slap in the face to American people.”

The lawsuit that resulted in yesterday’s ruling was filed by the Freedom from Religion Foundation, the nation’s preeminent atheist group. The FfRF is a member organization of the Secular Coalition of America whose representatives met with members of the White House political staff last February. “I hope the President will stand up to his atheist allies and stand up for the American people by defending the National Day of Prayer,” Nedd says.

In God We Trust is a national political advocacy organization with over 70,000 supporters of various faiths. Council Nedd is a traditional Episcopal priest and serves as the Bishop of the Chesapeake and Northeast for the Episcopal Missionary Church. On the Internet: http://www.InGodWeTrustUSA.org
