Scientology Volunteers Promote Human Rights Education in Madrid

Madrid, Spain — Volunteers from the Church of Scientology, Youth for Human Rights and Fundación MEJORA have taken human rights education into the streets of Madrid.
Wearing distinctive blue shirts, volunteers distributed booklets explaining the 30 articles of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The activity coincided with public discussions in Spain's capital about housing, freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. Volunteers concentrated on raising awareness of universal rights without endorsing specific political demands.
The initiative draws on educational resources developed by Youth for Human Rights International and United for Human Rights. The information covers everyday rights relating to dignity, personal freedom, education and social protection.
Among its provisions, the Declaration addresses housing under Article 25 and the role of human rights education under Article 26.
Ivan Arjona, Scientology's representative to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN, connected the initiative with Europe's commitment news eurovita to human dignity and fundamental freedoms.
The programme forms part of the Church of Scientology's wider support for human rights education, rooted in the importance L. Ron Hubbard placed on fundamental freedoms.
By meeting people in public spaces, volunteers sought to make human rights information more accessible beyond classrooms and institutions.
The full story is covered in this report on Madrid's human rights outreach initiative.
