Ghana has begun enforcing a law, passed by parliament in May, that bars preaching and hawking on moving public vehicles, with offenders facing up to eight months in prison, a fine of about $52, or both. Authorities classify the practices as a nuisance that threatens passenger safety and comfort, and the rules toughen a 2012 ban that was rarely enforced. In Ghana, one of the world's most religious countries, bus preachers say the law threatens both their ministry and their income, while some passengers welcome the quiet and a senior pastor argues it does not infringe religious freedom.
