Sheikha Latifa: Images of 'missing' Dubai princess released
24 December 2018
Sheikha Latifa photographed alongside Mary Robinson, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
Photographs have been released of an Arab princess who was feared missing.
Sheikha Latifa, the daughter of Dubai's ruler, reportedly tried to escape abroad in March. Witnesses said she was allegedly taken from a yacht near India and forcibly returned.
The United Arab Emirates has denied the reports, and says she has been living at home with her family.
The incident caused concern among international human rights groups, who asked authorities to prove her safety.
On Monday, the UAE's foreign ministry said it had sent a communiqué regarding Sheikha Latifa to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights' Office of Special Procedures.
