Scientology-Supported Human Rights Campaign Engages Madrid Residents

Blog Article

MADRID, Spain — A community outreach initiative in Madrid has brought together Scientology volunteers, Youth for Human Rights and Fundación MEJORA to raise awareness of fundamental freedoms.

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. The educational campaign was independent of the housing demonstrations.

The materials form part of an international educational programme supported by the Church of Scientology. The publications introduce fundamental Scientology principles including non-discrimination, freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and the right to education.

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 to human dignity and fundamental freedoms.

The Church's involvement in human rights education reflects an emphasis on fundamental freedoms expressed by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

The outreach brought internationally recognised human rights principles into everyday conversations in the Spanish capital.

Additional background appears in the Madrid Scientology volunteers' human rights education coverage.
