EU eases Zimbabwe sanctions, gives pledge on diamond firm


BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union eased sanctions on Zimbabwe on Monday to reward it for political reforms and also agreed to lift sanctions on a state-run Zimbabwe diamond mining company if the country holds fair elections.

The bloc imposed the penalties in 2002 in protest against human rights abuses and violations of democracy under the rule of veteran leader President Robert Mugabe.
