As you may recall in his appearance before our committee, the president and chief executive officer of Nevsun, Cliff Davis, testified that of the 1,194 Eritrean nationals employed at the Bisha site, 88% of the total employed there, are “there of their own free will”. He went on to say they received pay far above Eritrean standards, in addition to medical care, free food, and accommodation at the mine.
Vous vous souvenez sans doute que le président-directeur général de Nevsun, Cliff Davis, avait déclaré, lorsqu'il avait témoigné devant notre comité, que les 1 194 ressortissants de l'Érythrée qui travaillent à la mine de Bisha, 88 p. 100 de l'ensemble du personnel, « le font librement, de leur plein gré ».
