Syrians send messages via carrier pigeon in Homs

Despite only being a short distance apart, the activists say they are unable
to venture very far because of checkpoints between them manned by security
forces and the Shabiha, or pro-government thugs.

The activists launched their uprising last March using social networking
websites like Facebook and Twitter to rally support.

They say they are now forced to use pigeons to communicate with each other in
certain neighbourhoods of Homs out of the reach of their walkie-talkies.

Syrians were among the first people to use pigeons as messengers and this was
often the sole source of communication in the region.
