Boko Haram, a haunting specter for Nigeria.

(Baonghean) - On April 14, 2014, the Boko Haram group abducted 276 female students from Chibok High School, shocking and enraging the entire world. On the first anniversary of this event, Amnesty International (AI) has just released a report detailing the crimes committed by this terrorist group against the Nigerian people.

According to the report, at least 2,000 women and children in Nigeria were abducted by this notorious terrorist group in 2014, with over 38 mass abductions carried out. According to AI, the figures in the report are based on evidence gathered from 200 witnesses, including 28 women and children who escaped from Boko Hamram's clutches.

Witnesses reported that victims of the abductions were held in cramped prisons. For women and girls, the terrorists forced them into marriage, cooking, cleaning, or sexual abuse. For men and boys, they brainwashed or executed those who refused to comply.

Not only does Boko Haram "brainwash" men, but it also indoctrinates young girls with extremist Islamic ideology. They force their victims, including children, to learn how to use weapons and make bombs, which they then use to attack the very villages where they once lived.

Regarding the fate of the 276 Chibok schoolgirls, a military source said they were separated into three or four groups and taken to different camps controlled by Boko Haram. Some were found in areas such as the Sambisa forest in Borno State, around Lake Chad, the mountain ranges separating Nigeria and Cameroon, and even in neighboring Chad. Although their locations were identified, the military said a rescue operation would be too risky.

In addition to the 2,000 children and women abducted, the Boko Haram group killed more than 4,000 people in 2014. This number is certain to increase further, as the number of deaths at the hands of Boko Haram in the first quarters of 2015 exceeded 1,500. Based on this evidence, AI declares that the Boko Haram terrorist group must be prosecuted for the war crimes and crimes against humanity it has committed.
