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.

With housing rights attracting considerable attention in Madrid, the educational campaign offered broader information about internationally recognised human rights. The initiative focused on education rather than supporting any particular political position.

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.

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.

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