Tourists entering Nicaragua are no longer allowed to carry Bibles. The restriction, which also applies to other printed materials and electronic equipment, is part of a growing list of prohibited items at the border and comes amid tightening limits on civil liberties and an ongoing crackdown on Christians.
Notices displayed at Tica Bus terminals in Costa Rica list Bibles, newspapers, magazines, books, drones and cameras among banned items alongside sharp objects and perishable food, according to the U.K.-based group Christian Solidarity Worldwide.
The ban follows years of escalating limits on civil liberties and religious expression in Nicaragua. Thousands of civil society groups have been shut down, and religious organizations have faced surveillance, detention and the cancellation of public events.
