China: Pigeons must stay in coops during congress

BEIJING (AP) — Don't roll down the taxi windows. Don't buy a remote-controlled plane without a police chief's permission. And don't release your pigeons.

Beijing is tightening security as its all-important Communist Party congress approaches, and some of the measures seem bizarre.

Not only have taxi drivers removed the window handles from their doors, but their passengers must sign agreements promising to keep their windows and doors locked.

People should get the say-so of a police chief to buy a remote-controlled airplane.

And the state-run Global Times newspaper cited an officer from Beijing's Chaoyang district as saying pigeon owners must keep their birds in their coops.

Most of the security measures were implemented in time for Thursday's opening of a meeting of the Central Committee. The party congress begins next week.
