People caught using mobile phones on aircraft could be detained for up to five days, according to a draft law being reviewed by the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee.

Violators could also be fined up to 2,000 yuan (US$244), according to the draft law on public order administration.

The proposal, a draft amendment to the 17-year-old public security law, also imposes up to 15 days detention for peepers, eavesdroppers, and people who used hidden cameras in other people's bedrooms and bathrooms. Violators could also be fined up to 1,000 yuan.

Meanwhile, people whose noise disturbs neighbors could be fined up to 500 yuan.

People who cause an affray at sports venues by displaying insulting banners, attacking referees, judges, other athletes or other activities could be detained for up to five days and fined up to 200 yuan. Violators could be banned from sports venues for one year, says the draft.

The NPC Standing Committee began its weeklong review session Friday.
