Nicaragua's crackdown on the Catholic Church has intensified, with 19 priests expelled from the country, numerous incidents of harassment and church desecrations, and a growing climate of fear among the faithful. The government's campaign of persecution has silenced criticism and even mentions of repression from the pulpit. The repression has also extended to journalists, artists, and other critical voices in the country. The Catholic Church has been targeted because it is seen as a rare critic of state violence. The repression has had a deep impact spiritually and economically, affecting not just clergy but also marginalized populations and rural businesses.
