The Amnesty International (AI) has
commended the Nigerian military for
rescuing 293 women and girls from Boko
Haram captivity, saying that apart from the
Chibok girls, there are over 2,000 women in
captivity.
In a statement made available yesterday by
its Africa Director, Research and Advocacy,
Netsanet Belay, the Amnesty International
described the rescue of the women and
girls as an encouraging development,
saying ,however, that it is "only a small step
in securing the safety of the thousands of
women and girls abducted by the armed
group since 2014.
The AI further called on the military
authorities to ensure that the trauma of
those 'rescued' is not exacerbated by
lengthy security screening in detention.
The statement reads in part, "This
development is just cause for celebration
and undoubtedly an immense relief to the
women, girls and their families. But this is
just the tip of the iceberg; there are
thousands more women and girls, and men
and boys who have been abducted by Boko
Haram.
"The military said they 'rescued' the women
in an offensive against the armed group in
the Sambisa forest area in the north-east.
"According to a recent Amnesty
International report, more than 2,000
women and girls have been abducted by
Boko Haram. Drawing from interviews with
those who escaped, the report reveals how
civilians were executed, tortured, raped and
forced into marriage in camps and towns
controlled by Boko Haram.
"In previous cases where women and girls
have escaped from Boko Haram they have
been detained for weeks on end for
security screening. Amnesty International is
calling on the authorities to ensure that
their physical and psychological well-being
is paramount.
