The United Arab Emirates on Friday pushed back on reports that the daughter of Dubai’s ruler is being held hostage, saying in a statement that Sheikha Latifa Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum was being “cared for at home.”
The United Nations has asked the UAE for proof that Latifa is alive after the BBC’s “Panorama” program aired a series of videos recorded by Latifa during which she claimed to be held captive in a villa “converted into a jail” without access to medical help or the ability to get fresh air.
