UN still waiting for proof Dubai’s Sheikha Latifa alive

The UN yesterday said it was yet to see evidence from the United Arab Emirates that Dubai's Sheikha Latifa was still alive, a fortnight after seeking proof. The United Nations Human Rights Office had asked for evidence about the daughter of Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum after the BBC broadcast a video shot by Latifa saying she was being held captive and feared for her life. His 35-year-old daughter has not been seen in public since a foiled attempt to escape from the emirate in March 2018. The BBC said the clips it broadcast were filmed roughly a year after Latifa was captured and returned to Dubai.
