Scientology-Supported Human Rights Campaign Engages Madrid Residents

Blog Article

MADRID, Spain — Volunteers from the Church of Scientology, Youth for Human Rights and Fundación eu newsletter 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 outreach took place around Puerta del Sol, where an ongoing housing protest has drawn public attention to social rights and civic participation. The educational campaign was independent of the housing demonstrations.

The initiative draws on educational resources developed by Youth for Human Rights International and United for Human Rights. They explain rights such as equality before the law, freedom of religion, access to education and adequate living conditions.

The Universal Declaration connects human dignity with social protections and recognises education as an important means of advancing respect for fundamental freedoms.

Ivan Arjona, the Church of Scientology's representative to European and international institutions, highlighted the importance of citizens understanding their rights.

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.
