Indian commandos commandeered a boat, dragged away a Dubai princess, and beat up the vessel’s captain till he fell unconscious, Amnesty has claimed

Pressure is mounting on Dubai’s ruler Sheikh Mohammed and his government to reveal the whereabouts and safety of his daughter, after she was allegedly abducted at gunpoint while attempting to escape the United Arab Emirates, earlier this year.

When Tiina Jauhiainen moved to Dubai from Finland in 2001, she thought she had found her place in the sun. The beaches were pristine, the cocktails flowed and work, as a sales agent in the booming property market, was easy to find.

A detained Emirate princess, a yacht seized by Indian soldiers in international waters, a Frenchman being held in Luxembourg — accounts from key players in the attempted escape by a daughter of the ruler of Dubai have all the hallmarks of a geopolitical thriller.

United Arab Emirates urged to allow Sheikha Latifa ‘contact with outside world’ two months after she was forcibly returned

Human Rights Watch (HRW) has called on United Arab Emirates authorities to disclose the whereabouts and condition of a daughter of Dubai’s ruler, following reports that she was forcibly returned after fleeing the Gulf Arab state.

Human Rights Watch on Saturday asked Dubai’s ruling sheikh to reveal the whereabouts of his daughter after a French ex-spy and others say she fled the emirate, only to be arrested off the coast of India.
