marange diamond fields massacre

Over the past three years, the Marange diamond fields in eastern Zimbabwe have witnessed a series of violent assaults by government security forces against diamond diggers and local communities. Hundreds of people have been killed, and many more have been beaten, raped and forced to mine for the army and police. In the face of overwhelming evidence, the Zimbabwean authorities continue to deny that these abuses have occurred, and no-one has been held accountable
