Boko Haram ‘Terrorists have abducted 2,000 since 2014,’ Amnesty International says

Amnesty International made the claims via a 90-page report released on Monday, April 13, 2015, ahead of the one year anniversary of the Chibok girls’ abduction.

Boko Haram, has abducted at least 2,000 women and girls in Nigeria since the start of 2014, according to Amnesty International (AI).

AI made the claims via a 90-page report released on Monday, April 13, 2015, ahead of the one year anniversary of the Chibok girls’ abduction.

The report is titled, “Our job is to shoot, slaughter and kill’: Boko Haram’s reign of terror.”

According to the organization, the report was based on about 200 witness accounts, including 28 from women and girls, who escaped captivity.

“The evidence presented in this shocking report, one year after the horrific abduction of the Chibok girls, underlines the scale and depravity of Boko Haram’s methods,” AI Secretary-General, Salil Shetty said.

“Men and women, boys and girls, Christians and Muslims, have been killed, abducted and brutalised by Boko Haram during a reign of terror which has affected millions,” he added.

“Recent military successes might spell the beginning of the end for Boko Haram, but there is a huge amount to be done to protect civilians, resolve the humanitarian crisis and begin the healing process,” Shetty added.

The Chibok girls were abducted from the Government Girls’ Secondary School in Borno State on April 14, 2014.
