Nigeria Offered Help by U.K. in 'Bring Our Girls Home' Case By Cassandra Vinograd NBC News http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/missing-nigeria-schoolgirls/ nigeria-offered-help-u-k-bring-our-girls-home-case-n97926 . A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/mg8rekn . .Britain has joined the U.S. in offering help to secure the release of more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by Islamist militant group Boko Haram amid growing outrage over the failure to find the girls.
.The group's leader threatened to sell the girls "in the market" in a video obtained Monday by the AFP news agency.
.The United Nations warned Boko Haram that doing so could constitute crimes against humanity, saying Tuesday it was "deeply concerned" by the video.
."There is an absolute prohibition against slavery and sexual slavery in international law," said Rupert Colville, spokesperson for the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights. "The girls must be immediately returned, unharmed, to their families."
.Colville told a briefing Tuesday that the U.N. has contacted Nigeria's president and urged the government "to ensure that it spares no effort" to bring the girls home.
.It has been weeks since the girls were taken from their secondary school in the northeastern town of Chibok. The failure to find them has sparked anger and global protests.
.With pressure mounting on the Nigerian government to find them, a growing chorus of voices is urging President Goodluck Jonathan to accept outside assistance.
.Britain's Foreign Office William Hague confirmed on Tuesday that the U.K. stands ready to help find the girls.
."Britain is offering assistance but of course the primary responsibility will rest with the Nigerians," he said in a statement. "I hope they will do what is necessary to reunite these girls with their families."
