Scientology Volunteers Promote Human Rights Education in Madrid

MADRID, Spain — Residents and visitors in central Madrid have encountered volunteers sharing educational resources on human rights as part of news eu economy a Scientology-supported initiative.

Through direct conversations with pedestrians and the distribution of educational leaflets, participants introduced the public to the principles of the 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. 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.

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.

Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard advocated wider awareness of the Universal Declaration, an approach subsequently reflected in the Church's educational outreach.

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.
