The nomination recognizes Dr. Han’s decades-long contributions to international peacebuilding, interfaith dialogue, humanitarian cooperation, and reconciliation efforts, particularly in relation to the Korean Peninsula.

#地獄の監禁 逃れるために窓から飛び降りた 被害者を追い込み続ける #拉致監禁 ────────── 大勢に囲まれ「とてつもない恐怖心に駆られた」野副牧人さん。 牧師らの統一教会批判と家族を使った圧迫に心を締め付けられ、3階の窓から飛び降りて脱出。腰に激痛を抱え、林を這って逃げた。 「もし地面がコンクリートで頭の打ち所が悪ければ死ぬかもしれないことも考えました。私は、監禁下で信仰が折れるよりは、ここで落ちて、もし死ぬようなことになっても後悔はない、と覚悟を決めました」（野副さんの手記より） #脱会屋 は信者を死の瀬戸際まで涼しい顔で追い込んできた。実際に命を奪われ、また障害を負った例もある。 それでも #文科省 と #全国弁連、そして #オールドメディア は事実から目を背け続ける。これが日本の姿で本当にいいのか。 kidnapping.jp/archives/2778 👆野副牧人さんの拉致監禁証言（文章・音声） #家庭に牢獄はいらない #拉致監禁 #統一教会

実は今回、休みや仕事が早上がりの日がちょうど被っていたので、あのシープロさん(@Sheepro2nd )と一緒にNABIに参加！ 私はチラシや写真を撮りまくってました笑 自分は遊説は参加しなかったけど、彼の遊説を聞いて、そんなこと考えていたんだと印象的な内容でした。↓ 「教会は解散命令という判断になったが、この状況を受け止め、地域や社会の方からより信頼されるよう努めていく。」 解散命令の判決に対して、意見を述べることも重要ですが、彼のように地域社会から信頼をいただけるよう現状を素直に認め、行動することを宣言することは、今この時、非常に勇気のいる、覚悟の表れではないかと思います。 彼のこれからを応援したくなったので、また機会があれば参加したいし、多くの方にNABIを知ってもらえたら良いですね。 NHKニュース7でも先日、NABIが取り上げられましたよね。彼のような二世信者が今立ち上がり、声をあげて行動している姿に今後さらに注目が集まりそうです。✨
