How disgusting that Mary Robinson even accepted an invitation to visit Latifa only to lie about her situation. She should be ashamed of herself. I hope she’s lost all credibility with the UN now.

Interesting that the daughters were captured and returned to Dubai, but the wife and her children have not been captured. Hopefully her brother is able to offer protection to her and her children.

Finally, the rumors about the bodyguard started with these kinds of tabloids (note that the English language issues): https://www.weeklyblitz.net/news/princess-haya-sees-her-soulmate-in-the-bodyguard/

The Daily Fail is not a reputable news source itself.

And, this case has been known in the UK since summer. From the start, the "couple issued a statement saying the proceedings were “concerned with the welfare of the two children of their marriage and do not concern divorce or finances." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jul/30/dubai-rulers-wife-asks-uk-court-for-forced-marriage-protection-order

I feel that the original poster of the thread only recently learned about Haya's case when she scanned the Daily Fail this morning. She isn't the most clued in person about current events.

Her daughter is 12. The eldest son of the Sheikh just got married at age 36 to an age-appropriate 28-year-old this year.

You really think Maktoum was gearing up to marry off his youngest daughter tomorrow? Latifa is 34 and yet to be married. His daughter Maryam married at 26. He has at least 7 other 20-year-old and older daughters - all unmarried.

You’re dense. The UN had to create a working group to address this issue, Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances:
https://www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/Disappearances/Pages/Visits.aspx

A - What you just listed is 25+ countries.

B - The U.N. also sent the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson to meet directly with the UAE royals and guess what she said? That the woman in question was deeply troubled.

If you're going to quote the UN, get all the facts.

Read the article in the next post from foreign policy. The issue is so widespread that the in had to create a working group and has visited multiple countries with this issue. Not sure why you can’t infer that.

Latifa is “troubled” in the sense she is being held against her will:

+1 I cannot BELIEVE that the PPP is unaware of the scandal of Latifa's forced return to UAE. Or the controversy surrounding the Mary Robinson's televised interview with an (obviously drugged!) Latifa. I understand this wasn't widely covered in the US, but come on, people.

The PPP who knows nothing of Latifa's case has utterly discredited herself. She knows nothing about what is going on in this case, or Haya's (which is linked).




Latifa tried to escape Dubai, and her yacht was captured off the coast of India. When she claimed she was seeking asylum, they forcibly returned her, an adult woman, into her father's hands. After this, her

After this, the lawyer she left her clip with released it on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN7OEFyNUkQ

She hasn't been seen or heard from again, except for when she appeared in the widely condemned Mary Robinson interview (seek link in previous post from The Guardian), in which she looks drugged out of her skull.

And here's what happened to Latifa's sister Shamsa: https://freelatifa.com/about-shamsa/

And again, here's a summary of Latifa's failed escape and forced return to UAE: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/mar/05/dubai-princess-latifa-escape-uae-tiina-jauhiainen-one-year-on

Wasn't that a rumor put out by the husband's camp?

Latifa was trying to leave since 2000 and has been prevented from doing so:

What forced marriage? Don't be ridiculous.

They all knew what they were getting into.

No. Read the article. It's to prevent a future forced marriage of her CHILD.

The previous pp is confusing Latifas. Google his runaway daughter Latifa, who is either drugged senseless now or dead. You should watch her video on youtube.

I live in London and our media (not the Daily Fail) actually seems to cover more of this. I don't think you heard about the runaway Latifa, and yes, he has more than one daughter by that name.

And you are mistaken, it is NOT a divorce trial.

Not that I blame her because he's hot and her husband has like six wives of his own.

Princess Haya, wife of United Arab Emirates ruler Sheikh Maktoum, is in divorce court in London today over custody of her two minor children and a billion-dollar fortune. She ran away from Dubai over the summer stating her husband was frightening her, she didn't want him to take her children away, and apparently -- after starting an affair with her English bodyguard.

Her kids are 12 and 7.
