A terrified daughter of the ruler of Dubai begged for help from being held “hostage” by her father in disturbing recordings that have been released after her supporters lost contact with her.
Princess Latifa Al Maktoum made the whispered pleas for help in a series of clandestine videos recorded on a phone that was smuggled to her in her villa “prison” in the Kingdom, the Free Latifah support group said.
“I’m a hostage and this villa has been converted into a jail,” said Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s daughter in one of the clips shared with the BBC.
She filmed the videos in a bathroom “because this is the only room with a door I can lock,” she said.
“There are five policemen outside and two policewomen inside the house, and I can’t even go outside to get any fresh air,” Latifah, 35, went on, adding her windows were “barred shut.”
