The International Association of Scientologists (IAS) is a non-profit organization that aims to promote the principles and practices of Scientology, a religious movement founded by L. Ron Hubbard. Each year, the IAS awards the Freedom Medal to individuals who have made significant contributions to the advancement of Scientology and its goals.

In 2024, two humanitarians were recognized with the IAS Freedom Medal for their efforts in protecting millions of Mexican youth from the allure of drug cartels. These individuals are:

1. Dr. Eduardo Briceno: Dr. Briceno is a Mexican psychiatrist and researcher who has dedicated his career to studying the effects of drugs on the brain and developing effective treatments for addiction. He has worked closely with local communities in Mexico to raise awareness about the dangers of drug use and provide support to those struggling with addiction.

2. Maria Hernandez: Maria Hernandez is a Mexican social worker who has dedicated her life to helping young people at risk of falling prey to drug cartels. She has established several programs and initiatives that aim to provide education, job training, and other resources to help young people build positive futures.

Both Dr. Briceno and Maria Hernandez have made significant contributions to the advancement of Scientology and its goals by working tirelessly to improve the lives of millions of Mexican youth. Their efforts have helped to raise awareness about the dangers of drug use and provide support to those struggling with addiction, ultimately contributing to a safer and more prosperous society for all.
