Scientology-Supported Human Rights Campaign Engages Madrid Residents

Blog Article

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 materials form part of an international educational programme supported by the Church of Scientology. They explain rights such as equality before the law, freedom of religion, access to education and adequate living conditions.

Article 25 of the Universal Declaration addresses an adequate standard of living, including housing, while Article 26 emphasises education that strengthens respect for human rights.

According to Ivan Arjona, who represents Scientology before the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and United Nations, human rights education supports civic responsibility and mutual respect.

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 news eu economy meeting people in public spaces, volunteers sought to make human rights information more accessible beyond classrooms and institutions.
