COLOMBIA WELCOMES HUMAN RIGHTS LEADER
by
Antonella Antonecchia | 06.17.2009
In honor of the 60th Anniversary of the United Nations Universal Declaration of  “Human rights is a global issue,” says Dr. Shuttleworth. “There is no single country that one can say is abusive. There are over 1.9 million children worldwide, under the age of 14 living with HIV/Aids. 776 million adults lack minimum literacy skills. Six million children in the last decade have been mutilated or tortured due to armed conflicts. Two- million children have been killed by the same devastating conflicts. It is up to every person to know their rights and defend the rights of others so that by the pursuit of human rights these conditions can change.” Dr. Shuttleworth will spend several days in Bogota, Colombia before moving on to Cartagena and then to the next country on the World Tour 2009 itinerary. Dr. Shuttleworth cited the importance of Colombia as a country with a rich history of human rights heroes and a modern philosophy of human rights improvement. The purpose of Youth for Human Rights International (YHRI) is to teach youth about human rights – specifically, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights – and inspire them to become life-long advocates for tolerance and peace. "I was inspired to start YHRI by the words of humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard who said ‘human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream’. By traveling to the far corners of the world and meeting with like-minded people, groups and organizations, and working in collaboration, I believe we can truly make human rights a reality”. Ms. Shuttleworth said. Believing in meeting with people in their own countries to observe the challenges they face and encourage their efforts, she has circled the globe each year since 2004, visiting some 70 countries, including various dignitaries, kings, heads of government, educators, students and officials of the United Nations and Commonwealth of Nations. The organization now has nearly 200 affiliated clubs, groups and chapters spanning more than 80 countries around the world. YHRI World Tour 2009 will visit Argentina, Barbados, Colombia, Jordan, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, Switzerland, Timor-Leste, and Uganda.

This is a Front Group for a Mind Control Cult
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 07/21/2009 - 9:50pm"Youth For Human Rights" is a front group for a mind control cult called Scientology. I was a member for over 20 years. Though Ms.Antonecchia probably means well, she has not done her research. If she had, she would know about the mind control techniques that her group uses on it followers. She would understand their predatory practices, and the false imprisonment, borderline human trafficking, and beatings that are occurring at the top of her church's management. I'm not saying that 100% of scientology is bad. Obviously it has something useful or people wouldn't be drawn to it. But its use is very limited in the real world, and its real purpose is not to save the earth from the evil galactic space-lord who enslaved it (as stated in the secret upper levels of scientology), its real purpose is to control every inch of its follower's lives, and make lots of money. It's mind control techniques are too lengthy to list here. But the result of their programming and indoctrination is an adolescent mind that blindly follows their totalitarian leader, agrees to have every aspect of their communication censored, questions nothing, and accepts pure fiction as fact on a daily basis. Scientology has many front groups, and YFHR is a new one for them. Human Rights is their latest hot button that gets people's attention and gets youth involved, like their Way To Happiness campaigns. But just like their WTH booklet, they do not practice the precepts within, just like they violate the Human Rights of their members, while claiming to be Human Rights advocates.
