Zimbabwe central bank to keep contested diamonds

Zimbabwe's Supreme Court has ordered the central bank to safeguard millions of dollars' worth of diamonds from a mine where the military is accused of killings and forced labour…The latest ruling stems from an ownership battle over the mines in eastern Zimbabwe, with a British firm [African Consolidated Resources] and a government mineral corporation [Zimbabwe Mining Development] locked in a tug-of-war over the valuable deposits…The minefields attracted the attention of rights groups after reports of beatings and deaths of illegal gold panners by security forces…[They] have been lobbying for a ban on Marange diamonds.
