Press Release Body = Washington, D.C.- June 23, 2006 -- Kelly Riley, Boston\'s
Director for Youth For Human Rights met with Senator Edward Kennedy\'s office to
discuss the potential of how the Youth For Human Right\'s program could diminish
Boston\'s crime rate.

Ms.Riley and Kennedy\'s office had a lengthy discussion about implementing the Youth
for Human Rights\' lesson plans in to Boston and other Massachusetts schools. \"Teens
must demand that their schools and streets are safe, Article 3 of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights states, \'We all have the right to life, and to live in
freedom and safety\'. Ms. Riley feels we need to start this in our own neighborhoods
and international. She said that \"The premise of this program, is that educating
individuals in their basic human rights creates more compassionate and tolerant
societies\" Youth for Human Rights International was founded by educator and school
principal Mary Shuttleworth in August 2001 as a project of the International
Foundation forHuman Rights and Tolerance, with the expressed goal to implement L.
Ron Hubbard's statement, "Human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic
dream."

Riley hopes to inspire teens to use their knowledge of the Univeral Declaration of
Human Rights to start taking action in their community programs and with local law
enforcement to take back the streets and aim for peace. She encourages teachers,
youth group leaders, parents and other teen empowerment groups to become involved by

Ms. Riley believes that Kofi Annan had it right when he said, \"Young friends all
over the world, you are the ones who must realize these rights, now and for all
time. Their fate and future is in your hands.\"
