Angola condemned for prosecuting reporter

2015-06-03 18:54:28| Jewelry - Topix.net

Pressure was growing on Tuesday night on the Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos to drop a prosecution of award-winning investigative journalist Rafael Marques de Morais as jewellers including Tiffany & Co called for his release over a controversial expose of the blood-diamond industry. Mr de Morais was last week given a six-month suspended sentence, suspended for two years, following a trial in which he faced criminal defamation charges over his book on blood diamonds, which highlighted alleged links between Angola's military rulers and the illicit trade.
