OPEN LETTER TO JAPAN: A Personal Plea to Japan’s Prime Minister By Demian Dunkley President, Family Federation for World Peace and Unification USA Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, I write to you as a faith leader who is deeply connected to Japan. The recent decision to uphold the dissolution order of the Family Federation has been so painful to our global faith family. For many, this may appear to be a policy matter. For us, it is deeply personal. It affects real families, real communities, and people who have spent their lives trying to live for the sake of others. For decades, Japanese members of our movement have quietly served around the world—with humility, discipline, and deep love. They have contributed to peacebuilding, humanitarian work, and the strengthening of families across cultures. Prime Minister, these Japanese men and women have helped Japan shine globally. I have worked alongside them. I have seen their sincerity. These are not people who weaken society—they are people who strive to uplift it. Today, our church is asking for help. Not for privilege, but for fairness. Not for exemption, but for understanding. At stake is something fundamental: the freedom to believe and to practice one’s faith without fear of being dismantled. In recent years, religious organizations around the world have increasingly faced dissolution. This moment extends beyond our own community and raises broader questions about how religious freedom is protected. For many of our members, the impact has already been deeply felt. Decades of personal sacrifice and care were suddenly swept away when hundreds of churches and offices were closed in a single day. Japan has long been respected as a nation that upholds dignity, stability, and human rights. The world is watching. The decisions made now will shape not only Japan’s future, but its moral leadership on the global stage. I ask you to consider the human side of this decision—the parents, the children, the grandparents. Families like mine. Families like those across Japan. Respectfully,  Rev. Demian Dunkley Help.familyfed.org #helpourchurch #faithfreedompeace

Japan just dissolved the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU), one of the country's largest religious organizations. Within hours, court-appointed liquidators arrived at all 260 FFWPU facilities nationwide. Believers were barred from entering. Worship services, weddings, funerals, all suspended. In some locations, members were denied permission to retrieve personal belongings. FFWPU's case has no criminal element. Four UN Special Rapporteurs warned Japan that dissolution would violate the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The church's attorneys allege the government fabricated witness testimony. The court did not address those allegations in its written decision. This is not happening in a remote authoritarian state. This is Japan, a U.S. treaty ally. The timing of tomorrow's rally is not accidental. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is in Washington today for meetings with the Trump administration. That makes tomorrow one of the few moments international pressure can actually land. If you are in the DC area, this is the moment to show up. Thursday, March 19 at 12:00 PM Japanese Embassy, 2520 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, DC Religious freedom is not a niche issue. When a democratic government shuts down 260 churches in a single day, silence is a choice. Tomorrow, hundreds will stand outside the Japanese Embassy in Washington. help.familyfed.org 🧵Read the thread to understand what happened.

"Normally, once liquidation is complete, remaining assets are transferred to a voluntary organization formed by former believers. But the Agency for Cultural Affairs and the liquidators say they must wait for years because it takes time for Unification Church victims to come forward courageously. In ordinary corporate liquidation the creditor-claim period is two months. Waiting years is extraordinarily long. Moreover, the liquidators’ daily fees are paid from the church’s own assets. The Agency for Cultural Affairs, the liquidators, and the left-wing lawyer groups (such as the Japan Federation of Bar Associations) collaborating with them apparently do not want to hand over any facilities or assets to the believers. The president of the Japan Federation of Bar Associations has publicly argued that this is how it should be done." kk-bestsellers.com/articles/-/422…

Japan just set a dangerous precedent by dissolving a religious organization with zero criminal convictions. Tens of thousands of believers were locked out of their own sanctuaries. Join us in person outside the Japanese embassy in Washington, DC on March 19, 2026 to take a stand for religious freedom in Japan.

Trump's faith office is now asking about South Korea's religious detainees. Paula White, director of the White House Office of Faith and Trump's closest spiritual advisor for over two decades, asked South Korean Prime Minister Kim Min-seok a direct question during his Washington visit last week: "What part of Korea's election law did Pastor Son Hyun-bo and FFWPU leader Han Hak-ja actually violate?" Kim Min-seok answered that the cases involve election law violations and political bribery — not religious activity — and would apply equally to anyone, religious or not. But the question itself tells you something the headlines don't. White isn't a stranger to this story. In December 2021, she stood at an FFWPU event in South Korea and called Han Hak-ja "a jewel from God," presenting her with flowers in a personal act of honor. Now the woman who received those flowers has been in detention since September 2025. White arranged Kim's unplanned meeting with Trump on March 13. Their conversation with her took place in a room directly adjacent to the Oval Office. This is not peripheral attention. The Trump administration's engagement on Korean religious freedom has escalated through multiple channels in recent weeks: Vice President Vance raised the cases with Kim in January Secretary of State Rubio and Vance separately met with Pastor Son Hyun-bo's family at the White House Son, immediately after sentencing, thanked Rubio and Vance by name Now the question has reached the woman who sits closest to Trump on matters of faith. Kim Min-seok ordered the government-wide crackdown on FFWPU in January 2026, calling the organization a "social evil" to be eradicated. He is now being asked by Trump's faith office to justify the prosecution of that organization's leader. That is the position Seoul is in. en.sedaily.com/finance/2026/0… Photos: @Paula_White

Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi meets President Trump at the White House on March 19. It is her first visit to the United States as prime minister. It marks a new chapter in one of the world's most consequential alliances. The official agenda is already strong: trade, defense, critical minerals, Indo-Pacific security. There is one more item that belongs at the table. On March 4, Tokyo's appeals court upheld the dissolution of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU). Liquidation of the organization's assets — including houses of worship — began the same day. The FFWPU has now appealed to Japan's Supreme Court. This dissolution is historically unprecedented. Japan has dissolved religious organizations twice before: Aum Shinrikyo in 1995, following the Tokyo subway sarin attack, and Myokakuji in 2002, for criminal fraud. Both involved criminal convictions. The FFWPU was never charged with a crime. This is the first time in Japanese history a religious organization has been dissolved based solely on civil law violations. The Trump administration has made international religious freedom a cornerstone of its foreign policy agenda. Prime Minister Takaichi leads a government committed to a free and open Indo-Pacific — a vision that includes the protection of fundamental rights. These two leaders share a platform and a moment. Raising religious freedom concerns with an ally is not a confrontation. It is the kind of candid, trust-based exchange that strong alliances are built for. The March 19 summit is an opportunity to demonstrate that the U.S.-Japan alliance stands not only for shared economic and security interests — but for the values that make those interests worth defending.

OFFICIAL - IT'S TIME TO STAND. We are living through a serious and historic moment for our worldwide family of faith. In Japan, the government has moved to dissolve the Family Federation. As a result, all of our churches and offices across the country have been shut down. Members have been asked to leave the sanctuaries where they prayed, gathered, and raised their children in faith. In a matter of minutes, communities that had existed for decades were forced to close their doors. For our brothers and sisters in Japan, this moment has brought deep sorrow and uncertainty. But they are not alone. For decades, Japanese members have served the world quietly and sacrificially. They have traveled to distant nations, supported missions, raised families, and invested their lives for the sake of God’s dream and the sake of humanity. We have all been strengthened by their devotion and example. Now they are facing hardship, and the global family stands with them. Until now we have handled this situation with patience and respect. But there comes a point when silence no longer serves justice. When the rights of people of faith are stripped away and entire communities are shut down overnight, it becomes necessary to stand up and say clearly: this is not right. On Thursday, March 19, we will gather at the Japanese Embassy in Washington, DC for a peaceful appeal for religious freedom. At a time when Prime Minister Takaichi will be visiting Washington, we will respectfully raise our voices and ask that the rights and dignity of people of faith be protected. This gathering is not about anger or confrontation. It is about standing with our family and reminding the world that religious freedom matters. Our members in Japan cannot gather publicly in the same way we can today. But here in America, we are free to stand, and we will do so with dignity and conviction. We expect members, friends, clergy, and supporters of religious freedom from across our community to be present. 500 participants will gather at the embassy so that this appeal is seen clearly and respectfully. Details for the gathering and registration can be found at help.familyfed.org. Once registered, you will receive updates with the final schedule and instructions. We also encourage you to invite friends, neighbors, and clergy who care about the protection of religious freedom. The principles at stake go far beyond one community. They concern the fundamental right of every person to practice their faith freely. Let us stand together to HELP our brothers and sisters in Japan. Our buildings may be closed, but the faith that built them remains alive. And when a family stands together with clarity and conviction, the world takes notice. We look forward to standing together on March 19. #FaithFreedomPeace #OneFamilyUnderGod #ReligiousFreedom help.familyfed.org
