    People are holding a sign at a protest. The sign when translated reads, "Stop the persecution of the Christian church. Peace for evangelicals also to religious intolerance. A municipality without Evangelical persecution of San Juan Lalana Mexico from Christian persecution. Freedom for the Christian church of San Juan Lalana."

    In November 2023, community leaders of San Isidro Arenal, a town located within Oaxaca State, mandated that Roman Catholicism will be the only religion permitted in their community. Following this decision, 13 evangelical families began to experience threats and violence from those opposing them. A month later, three of the families were forcibly expelled and took refuge in the Playa Vicente Municipality of Veracruz State.
