    Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab stated he wishes to see evidence that Princess Latifa is ‘alive and well’ after she declared in a video she was being held versus her will.

    The cabinet minister explained the video as ‘deeply troubling’ and stated the UK Government would ‘always’ raise human rights concerns with its partners, consisting of the UAE.

    It follows the child of the billionaire ruler of Dubai implicated her dad of keeping her captive after she was abducted from a luxury yacht throughout an effort to leave in 2018.

    Princess Latifa declares she was beaten, drugged and put in a rental property that has actually been transformed into a prison.

    Asked if the Government wished to see evidence Princess Latifa lived, Mr Raab responded: ‘Given what we’ve simply seen, individuals would simply at a human level wish to see that she’s alive and well, naturally. I believe that’s a natural impulse and we would definitely invite that.’

    In a different interview he informed BBC Breakfast: ‘I’ve seen a few of the video and I believe it’s deeply uncomfortable. You can see a girl in deep distress.’

    The Foreign Secretary was not straight handling the case and the ideal system to do so was through the UN, which is acting on the video.

    Asked if the Government would think about enforcing sanctions versus Princess Latifa’s dad thinking about business interests he has in the UK, Mr Raab stated: ‘I’m not rather sure what the basis you would be recommending for that would be.’

    He stated sanctions such as a visa restriction are not something they choose ‘on a whim’ including: ‘There is a very clear legal basis and we need a clear set of evidence in order to exercise those kind of powers.’

    In a series of videos, acquired by the BBC as part of the Panorama present affairs program, Latifa, 35, stated: ‘I am a hostage and this villa has been converted into a jail.’

    She stated she was making the video in the restroom of the vacation home, the only space she might lock herself into, including: ‘All the windows are barred shut, I can’t open any window.’

    The messages were shot over a variety of months on a phone the princess was covertly provided approximately a year after her supposed capture. Her pals state the messages have actually now stopped and are contacting the United Nations to action in and assistance.

    Princess Latifa’s dad Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and the Dubai Royal Court claim she is safe in the caring care of her household.
