IN the NEWS - Bibles Banned

If the world hate you, 
ye know that it hated Me before it hated you. 
John 15:18

"Tourists entering Nicaragua are no longer permitted to bring Bibles into the country, according to new reports that deepen concerns about religious freedom under President Daniel Ortega’s government.
The U.K.-based advocacy group Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) reported this month that notices posted at Tica Bus terminals in Costa Rica — which operate routes into Nicaragua’s capital, Managua — warn passengers that magazines, newspapers, cameras, and books, including the Bible, are prohibited from entry.
The reported ban arrives amid the continuing crackdown on religious and civil society groups. In the spring, Nicaragua withdrew from the United Nations Human Rights Council after facing international condemnation for what critics described as a systematic assault on human rights, democratic institutions, and religious communities.
Numerous pastors and lay leaders have been jailed or forced into exile, and Church-run charities, schools, and media outlets have been shuttered."
