Yes, Rosie. Here is the VOM report on Mexico as a restricted nation.
From the report:
COUNTRY Chiapas (Mexico)
DESCRIPTION Chiapas is the southernmost state in Mexico. Since 1994, the leftist Zapatista paramilitary
group has used Chiapas as a base for its anti-government activities. Many indigenous Chiapans are descended from the Maya and are marginalized by the government. Catholicism in the region is heavily blended with traditions from indigenous religions.
Category: Hostile Nation
Religion: Folk Catholicism 64.5%, Christian (evangelical) 21.9%
Ideology: Mixture of folk Catholic syncretism and liberation theology
Head of State: Governor Manuel Velasco Coella
Evangelicals in Chiapas face prejudice, harassment, expulsion from their villages, attacks against their churches and private property, threats of sexual assault, imprisonment and murder. Opposition to
evangelicals derives mostly from their refusal to participate in syncretistic community religious events that involve pagan rituals and heavy drinking. Evangelicals are considered a threat to local political and religious leaders’ control. Twenty-seven families were expelled from their community “just for being evangelicals,” according to a 2012 report in a Chiapas newspaper. VOM is providing support to these and other displaced Chiapan
