A torture camp run by Zimbabwe's security forces is operating in the country's rich Marange diamond fields…The main torture camp...is known locally as "Diamond Base". Witnesses said it is a remote collection of military tents, with an outdoor razor wire enclosure where the prisoners are kept...The camp is about one mile from the main Mbada mine that the EU wants to approve exports from. The company that runs the mine is headed by a personal friend of President Mugabe…Marange diamonds were banned in 2009 by the KP [Kimberley Process], the international initiative of the diamond industry, national governments and non-governmental organisations that attempts to keep conflict or so-called "blood" diamonds out of the lucrative market...In June, KP chairman Matieu Yamba formally announced that the export ban on the two key Marange mines was lifted with immediate effect.
