I am wondering if anyone knows how many people have made a claim and how much if any people are going to get. I am also wondering when people might see a check.

Ace asked:


I’m doing a project on child labor in the diamond industry. I’ve found lots of information about children cutting and polishing diamonds in India, but I’ve been having trouble finding information on diamond mines.

All help will be appreciated, and remember, please cite your source.

Boycott Hollywd Commies asked:


I saw the program “Ice Truckers”. These truckers are carrying (acid, asenic, all types of chemicals, petroleum, etc) across a pristine ocean. The Ice has cracked and these trucks have gone into the ocean – imagine the pollution to what little sea life is there.

What gives DeBeers the right to endanger the environment?

More reasons to NOT buy diamonds.

In Sierra Leone people are abused and killed and tribal wars rage because of diamonds.
