The UN Commission on Human Rights has asked for proof that Dubai’s missing princess is alive.
Princess Latifa is a daughter of one of the world’s richest men, Dubai’s billionaire ruler Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum.
She has accused her father of holding her hostage in secret videos released to the media, following attempts to flee the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The 35-year-old claims she was beaten, drugged and imprisoned, firstly in a jail and then in a villa with bars at the window, after she attempted to escape from Dubai in February 2018.
She says she was forcibly returned the following month, in what the royal family say was a rescue mission.
The sheikh, a powerful and influential man regularly seen alongside heads of state, has previously said she is safe and well.
The family say they wish to maintain her privacy.
