Princess Latifa, the captive daughter of Dubai's ruler, has appealed to British police to re-investigate the kidnap of her older sister from a Cambridge street more than 20 years ago.
In a letter shared with the BBC, Latifa tells Cambridgeshire police this could help free Princess Shamsa, who was captured on the orders of their father.
Shamsa, who was just 18 then and is now 39, has not been seen in public since.
The government of Dubai has not responded to BBC requests for comment.

How can a father treat his daughters like this? Imagine how they treat people in general.. sickening!
Bro it's his wish and ya ur fool hahahhhahah
@@ayan_xoxo1612 wtf
@@tetestoes5188 me wish
Ok they might not treat the princess good but trust me, the citizens of this city are doing very very good. Making dem big bucks if you get what I'm saying with pretty alright human rights
No he doesn’t treat like this but some children are worth this treatment
His wife, the sister of the King of Jordan, also ran away from him but she was smarter about it and got a divorce in UK. I guess being a king's sister also helps.
She stole millions from her charity in Dubai to fund her exiled brother who was accused of being Al Qaeda sympathiser, the West doesn’t look at things critically just superficial stereotypes that sell stories.
@@td2926 Well, it is not a question of critical thinking. It is a question of lack of information. We only know what we read in the papers or books. And with these countries, nobody really knows what is going on but insiders and they never say anything publicly.
@@td2926 how ironic you make unverified accusations against her but complain about media bias against your beloved sheikh. What we know for a fact is that his ex wife and two daughters ran away from him, and so it's hard to believe that he's a victim in all of this.
@@slavkastrouhalova659 That’s precisely the problem, discussing family problems is taboo and rude in Arab culture. The fact that they are royals further mystifies the case.
@I LikeNacho CheeseFries Dysfunctional? I wouldn’t say that to family that built a successful vision of modernity. And it is the West’s problem when their reporting on circumstantial evidence, they could easily share CCTV footage of Shamsa’s arrest but there isn’t.
These women hold power he can’t imagine. Bravery. He’s getting old and they will outlive him, hopefully. His legacy is garbage no matter what now.
They’ll still die in vain It wont change they’ll be tortured for disobeying
Lol, you live in fantasies, they have no power
@@mankind8807 he will always be known as the loser. They will always be the winner, no matter how anyone dies, he dies with history knowing his daughters needed to flee him, his wife left him.... God is good🌹
@@janis413 You have to understand that as a royal from freaking "Dubai", you can't just decide to run away and shame the family, no king is gonna let his daughters escape and then go badmouth him abroad. Also notice that these so called prisons these girls are in are palaces, by the look of it he is being generous, when his first son messed up, he got his prince title removed, and then he passed away by "heart attack", mind you this was a 33 year old fitness type of dude.
@@mankind8807 well as it sits now, his wife fled to the UK where she is now protected from him. The world also knows that two of his daughters risk death yet still try everything to run. That’s just facts. Doesn’t matter who he is other than ‘the one whose wife and daughters ran away’
*And they will tell the world that daughters are "Mentally ill" to shut down the rumors against them, but no sir, people know better!*
Haha trueee, this is millennials day we know the truth, worst fother ever
and there are braindead people in the comments who thinks they are some kind of smart guy for saying princess latifa's accusation
Mentally ill people still have human rights. You can really tell the toxic mentality when they try this argument
A man has kidnapped his children, keeping them by force, drugging them, jailing them for years...punish him? Of course he is a monster Ahhh he is also a billionaire and the ruler of Dubai so don't do anything
I mean England and America has it’s fair share human rights issues they have never rectified nor have they ever wanted to soooo who the hell are they to judge anyone?

He was helping for the human rights .. but he failed to be a human to his daughters. He is pure evil!
1- She is a princess from one of the riches kingdom in the world. When she run away alone she was 18 years old. Lucky her father and the UK authorities got her early if not I dunno what will be happens to her. Those Riches royals including the royal from Europe is always Hunting by thousands of paparazzi and mafia. If something happens to them the kingdom and entire people of the kingdom have to bear it so is better to keep her and don't allowed her to run again. 2- princess Latifa is clearly bipolar, she is the only princess who do nothing while her other sisters are busy to build their kingdom. Princess is a leader, a leader should not priority her own " freedom " than her kingdom and her people.
@@andiaurelie5199 agree
He is acting only.
He wasn't helping for sh*t. He was only doing what was fashionable, to look like a progressive leader in the eyes of the world. A surface image, that's all.
@@andiaurelie5199 And what exactly are her sisters doing to build the kingdom? And which ones, cause she probably has, what, 15 of them? Her sister Shamza, the one you speak about running away at 18, she wasn't even allowed to attend university. Tell me exactly, what position she could've been given _"to help build the kingdom"_ ?
Dubai might have the latest hotels, shopping malls, modern buildings and nice weather. However, the legal system dates back to the 7th century and there isn’t any human rights.
A man like him loves only his power.
Dates back 10000 BC.
@Zero Khan, yeah that's right a good father knows what's best for his children. And this King is not one of those. Locking up his daughters in dark rooms and giving them drugs, shame on him.
I think the full directory of human rights would just lead to selfishness and irresponsibility

Why not just let her go? He should stop treating her as an appendage of himself. She is a separate entity, entitled to live her own life. Narcissistic people never learn that they kill the very people on which they need to feed. Breaking her is only breaking himself.
It's not breaking himself. It's feeding his soul, why would you do it.
Shameful figure she will be. A princess who ran away from a royalty... Royalty whom ran for generations. This is not human right, this is irresponsible and selfishness.
@@thinkcubeydr.shulker9888 bruh. She's not allowed to have any freedom. She should have every basic human right like everyone else even if she is royalty.
@@dee494compare that with the rest of the young royalties, across the world
@@thinkcubeydr.shulker9888 ok, let's compare her to the two young royalties, Harry and Meghan. They decided not to be royal any more, and left the country. They were allowed to do that. Because they are allowed to have basic freedom, unlike princess latifa
Everyone is still gonna go to dubai though, your just funding his evil actions
Even the queen's grandson, prince Harry chose the world of the Dajjal over his titles. No one is safe from the trials and world being prepared for the Dajjal even today, so what about when the one eye false messiah (Dajjal) of the zionists appears for real.

This zio channel that hired that zio emma barnett whose parents ran brothels until she knew about it, and the police finding her emails insulting the abused girls in the brothels, this zionist channel deletes my comments for posting Ahadith about the Dajjal. The algorithms spans the comments directly. A deletion takes time. My comment was up and then I returned after some minutes and it was gone.
Not everyone, really. I would never go there. This is one of the reasons.
@ROJ54321 I feel like people go to Dubai to put it on their Instagram to flex their money tbh. Like you said there’s much nicer places to visit
If he doesn't like his daughter. He can just banish her from his land. I just can't understand the his action of confining her.
It's all about power and control over his daughters..he would never let them go because he views them as mere properties..
You are right if children go against family can cut off royal privileges. This man allegedly killed his eldest son also. He wants to be perfect even by killing own children
This is what they all do to the wemen
It's all basically written in that 'manual book' 😔 more or less
Religion and laws of love and peace 😍
May God protect princess Latifa and her sister and provide a way of escape for them. May this man be brought to justice for what he is doing to his own children.

Palaces are lavish cages for royals either Princess Latifa or Prince Harry They are always running away
They long for outgoings and freedom the shackles of royalty poor latifa and harry.
Yes. People see the money and privileges of a wealthy life and think "why would you run away from that and abandon your country?" but they forget that these princes and princesses have every moment of their life controlled and planned out for them. I would never want that life.
Prince is at least allowed.
Your life isnt yours the moment you're born into royalty apparently everything about you is already decided before birth no room for individuality. 'Keeping appearances' is something I hate with a passion. broke I may be but thank god I can be myself, spontaneous lazy and a mess
Prince Harry has never been jailed and beaten for years on end don't even try to complete the two it's very very very different!!
Its sickens me to hear this , people who holiday in dubai should be made aware of whats going on
Boycott goin Dubai
Sheikha Latifa was medically diagnosed by the UN doctor has being bipolar. Why is she been given this platform ? This is BBC reaching now. stop hating on the most successful ruler of this era and focus on the clowns you all have to deal with. Sheikh Mohd has MANY children and a lot whom have high positions in sports , government offices and arts! Why aren’t the media talking about THOSE princesses ? Why are they focused on this one who is bipolar in a “villa jail” she looks well taken care off clearly !
Like they give a shit
People don't care, everybody will forget about this women in few months
@@LadyHashZ they did talk about other daughters. Latifa & Shamsa where not the only ones who attempted to escape. There is a rumour that he killed his eldest son if it’s true why would you try & escape knowing your life is at steak? Idk if it’s true but if it isn’t & Latifa is lying why would she? I can’t put my finger on it. Wouldn’t they take her phone away & take away access to the internet. Also what happened to Shamsa the older sister who tried to escape 20yrs ago? Many unanswered questions.
This is more common than you think--I also wonder if anyone can shed light on the wellbeing of the late King Abdullah's daughters who have been locked up for over 12 years in a villa in Jeddah? I lived in the UAE for over 8 years and the horror stories I have heard and witnessed are deplorable. Just know that this is happening within the entire Gulf region and beyond, and not just with royal women, but women in general.

Hidden amongst all that luxury of Dubai lies a very dark secret.
More than 1. The whole city Dubai built by slaves and staffed by slaves is another
Theses girls have been failed majorly 🥺
Why is this man so frightened of his daughters living independently? Why wouldn't a father want to see his children thrive and enjoy life? It's hard to understand. He really sees these women as his property.
It's Islam that's why
Women from their religion are not allowed to.. Simple 😐
Islam is a dangerous ideology
How cruel is that father.
God touch his heart...help him have Compassion with his children
Nothing could touch that man's heart. Nothing.....
@@lindatannock Yep I’m afraid that individuals like that are too far gone to the other side. God can’t reach him where he is. The only hope is that he passes away sooner than later and that his heir finds it in him to make it right for his sisters.
Such people are modern day monsters 😐 no solution yet.. unless everyone worldwide start revolting together against such practices.. boycott such countries.. unfortunately other countries need their "oil", governments/ruling authorities are ready to sacrifice the people/citizens of their own countries in order to enjoy ruling happily, nobody actually cares about it's citizens/people/subjects (whatever it's called in different countries) The only positive in this situation is social media, people know the reality & can think/see for themselves the cruel reality.

Not surprised! Their behaviour is an excuse for sex with multiple women who are like slaves but called wives. I don't see the difference between that and those women who are trafficked and locked up as they are not free and are forcefully kept there and have to have sex whenever it is required of them. Thus I assume they cannot say I dont want more than 2 children. So for these girls, they cannot speak or go Uni unless they agree to get 'married' and follow the rules.
