Samenvatting
Record of human rights abuses in the diamond-rich provinces of Lunda Norte and Lunda Sul throughout 2004 against both Angolans and foreigners. Since the Angolan government launched its crackdown against diamond smugglers in the Lundas area, there have been reports of unrest and violence at the hands of both the national police and diamond companies' private security firms. The report's authors - journalist and civil rights campaigner Rafael Marques, and lawyer Rui Falcão de Campos "link the violence to lawlessness and corruption that ensure only a privileged few benefit from the region's diamond wealth".
