[ボルドー(フランス) 5日 ロイター] フランス南西部にあるSarpourenx村の村長が、住民約260人に対し、墓地が満杯でこれ以上埋葬するスペースがないため、もしも死んだら罰を与えると通達した。
村役場に掲示された条例は「墓地に区画を保有していないのに埋葬を希望するすべての住民は、教区内で死亡することを禁じる」としており、「違反者は厳しく罰せられる」という。

Cemetery full, mayor tells locals not to die
Wed Mar 5, 2008 3:58pm EST
BORDEAUX, France (Reuters) - The mayor of a village in southwest France has threatened residents with severe punishment if they die, because there is no room left in the overcrowded cemetery to bury them.
In an ordinance posted in the council offices, Mayor Gerard Lalanne told the 260 residents of the village of Sarpourenx that "all persons not having a plot in the cemetery and wishing to be buried in Sarpourenx are forbidden from dying in the parish."
It added: "Offenders will be severely punished."
The mayor said he was forced to take drastic action after an administrative court in the nearby town of Pau ruled in January that the acquisition of adjoining private land to extend the cemetery would not be justified.
Lalanne, who celebrated his 70th birthday on Wednesday and is standing for election to a seventh term in this month's local elections, said he was sorry that there had not been a positive outcome to the dilemma.
"It may be a laughing matter for some, but not for me," he said.
