«Breaking News» UAE releases photos of 'missing' Dubai princess Latifa and insist she is 'at home with her family'

Pictures showing 'missing' Dubai princess Latifa have been released by the UAE in a bid to prove she is 'at home and living with her family'.

The photos show Princess Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed al-Maktoum posing with the former UN high commissioner for human rights Mary Robinson in Dubai.

Rights groups had called on the UAE to disclose the whereabouts and condition of Sheikha Latifa, daughter of Dubai's ruler, amid widespread reports she was forcibly returned after fleeing the Gulf Arab state.

The 33-year-old had not previously been seen in public for more than nine months.

Rights groups had called on the UAE to disclose the whereabouts and condition of Sheikha Latifa, following reports in the international media that she was forcibly returned after fleeing the Gulf Arab state

'At the request of the family, on 15th December 2018, Mary Robinson, former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and former President of Ireland, met with Her Highness Sheikha Latifa in Dubai,' the UAE foreign ministry said.

'Photographs taken during the afternoon they spent together have been shared, with their consent. 

'During her visit to Dubai, Mary Robinson was reassured that H.H. Sheikha Latifa is receiving the necessary care and support she requires.'

It said: 'The communique responds to and rebuts false allegations and provided evidence that Her Highness Sheikha Latifa was at home and living with her family in Dubai.'

The ministry said the UAE Mission in Geneva shared the statement with the Office of Special Procedures at the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. 

Latifa was snatched from a yacht after trying to flee with the help of French former spy Hervé Jaubert and long-time friend Tiina Jauhiainen.

Earlier this month, Dubai Ruler's Court said she celebrated her 33rd birthday with her family and that they are 'deeply saddened' by speculation regarding her whereabouts. 

In an extraordinary statement, a spokesman lambasted the BBC for making a documentary about the case 'intruding' on her private life. 

It was the first time the United Arab Emirates (UAE) had broken its silence on the speculation surrounding Latifa after she went missing on March 5.

That statement came as footage showed her training for her escape by swimming in a plush pool in scuba gear on February 12.

The princess later attempted to flee her 'gilded prison' with the help of Herve Jaubert, and her Finnish marital arts teacher.

The footage was filmed by her teacher, Tiina Jauhiainen, who also joined her on the mission – first driving into neighbouring Oman before sailing to India. 

She had contacted Mr Jaubert years earlier asking him for help after she had read about him escaping from the country, he has said.

Latifa was last seen on March 5 being dragged into a rubber boat by Indian and Emirati forces, according to those who were with her.

But in a statement, Dubai Ruler's Court later claimed that Latifa was 'vulnerable to exploitation' by Mr Hauve, who had a criminal record.

He and his 'accomplices' demanded payment of a ransom of $100million shortly after she disappeared for her return, it was claimed.

A spokesman from the Dubai Ruler's Court said: 'This private family matter has caused significant upset and distress for all concerned, most of all Sheikha Latifa.'

It said she was 'adored and cherished' by their family and was now safe in Dubai.  

Miss Jauhiainen had told the BBC that on the day of the escape Latifa changed her clothes and sunglasses, and the pair crossed into Oman.

They then headed out into international waters by inflatable boat and jet ski to meet Mr Jaubert in a yacht flying the US flag.

The trio set sail for India, where Latifa hoped to claim political asylum in the US, but were stopped by armed men just 30 miles from the coast and taken back to Dubai.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
