Lobby group Human Rights Watch has accused Zimbabwe's army of using forced labour, including children, to mine diamonds in the east of the country.
Local villagers who do not co-operate with the military are beaten and tortured, the US-based group says.
Their report also details an alleged massacre of diamond diggers last year, after the disputed elections.
This has become the norm in other African nations as well.

If this is true it would be very sad and should bring condemnation from the United Nations and other World powers as this type of behavior is unacceptable.
