Peace and Human Rights at Centre of Amsterdam Gandhi Tribute

Indian and Dutch participants came together in the Dutch capital for a floral tribute to Mahatma Gandhi, bringing together the Gandhi Global Family and the Church of Scientology Netherlands around Gandhian principles of peace, compassion and respect for human dignity. Held at Gandhi’s statue on Churchilllaan, the event included Ram Mohan Rai, General Secretary of Gandhi Global Family, Scientology representatives and human rights advocates. Discussions also explored future cooperation in human rights education and youth engagement.

Ron Hubbard, who encouraged Scientologists to support initiatives advancing fundamental human rights. Ivan Arjona, Scientology’s representative to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN, described the Amsterdam meeting as an example of civic responsibility across news euro 24 cultures, stressing that knowledge of human rights can support social cohesion and democratic resilience.
