The government of Nicaragua has engaged in a full-scale crackdown on religious freedom. It has arbitrarily arrested, imprisoned, and exiled religious leaders and adherents. It has also harassed religious leaders and worshippers and has targeted religious charities and educational organizations by canceling their legal status and seizing their property. Actions like these routinely punish peaceful religious activity and eliminate potential opposition.
