In Nicaragua, the government has banned Easter processions and fireworks, effectively shutting down public Christian celebrations during Holy Week. President Daniel Ortega has prohibited the carrying of sacred images in the streets, with heavy security stationed outside cathedrals. Since 2023, such processions, including Palm Sunday and Good Friday events, are only allowed within church premises. Violators face arrest, as confirmed by priests visited by police.

The ban is seen as a significant blow to religious life and a broader effort to silence the Church’s voice on issues like political prisoners, migration, and human rights, according to the outlet 100% Noticias.
