(WND)—Travelers who may have any reason to visit Nicaragua since Daniel Ortega threw out democracy and changed the constitution in order to maintain his power now are being warned against carrying with them a simple acknowledgement of a Christian faith: A Bible.
They are banned.
A report at Protestia explained authorities there have banned tourists from bringing in Bibles.
It is because of restrictions issued by Ortega, the dictator, and his wife, “Vice President” Rosario Murillo, who rules alongside Ortega.
It is the international transport company Tica Bus that told consumers there is a new set of items prohibited from entering Nicaragua: “Firearms, sharp objects and perishable food,” and now, “drones, magazines, printed newspapers and Bibles.”
Multiple travelers and human-rights organizations have expressed concern.
“The company stated that the restrictions stem from regulations notified by Nicaraguan authorities to international transport companies operating in the region,” the report said.
A Spanish-language news source, CA360, said such bans are typical in “this authoritarian context, given that Ortega and his wife shut down the independent press in 2022 and have jailed or killed hundreds of opponents, real or perceived.”
They did confirm that banning Bibles is a new precedent.
But it’s not the first foray into anti-Christian actions by the duo, the report said. “Ortega and his wicked wife accused the church of supporting an attempted coup d’état in 2018, which saw rare mass protests against his leadership and resulted in hundreds of imprisonments,”
The attacks on religious freedom in the Central American nation have accompanied Ortega’s rise in power, the report said, with dozens of Catholic priests arrested or exiled over the years.
Protestia explained, “At the same time, entire congregations, including orders and movements of consecrated life, have been expelled from the country.”

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
