Supermodel Naomi Campbell will appear before the Hague court on August 5 to testify in the blood diamond case. The first black girl to appear on the covers of the French and English editions of Vogue and Time obtained special “protective measures” during her appearance in the boardroom.
The release said that "no person may photograph or videotape Ms. Campbell as she enters and exits the courthouse, or inside the building itself."
However, the court was unable to satisfy the supermodel's request to ban filming outside the court, in the Netherlands, explaining that such measures exceeded judicial powers.
As you know, the Hague Court is considering the case of ex-President of Liberia Charles Taylor, accused of illegal trade in African diamonds. The court intends to find out whether the British supermodel really received an African diamond as a gift from the Liberian dictator in 1997 at a social event in South Africa. The court received this information from the actress Mia Farrow.
In addition, Charles Taylor, the former president of Liberia from 1997 to 2003, has been charged with a wide range of crimes, including the atrocities of his guerrilla insurgents in Sierra Leone, the illegal arms trade and even cannibalism. Actually, the name "blood diamond" got its name because the government of Liberia used the money from the sale of stones mined in Africa to buy weapons to pacify popular indignation.
