CNN
Dubai's royal family says Princess Latifa is "being cared for at home," dismissing videos in which she accused them of holding her hostage since she attempted to flee abroad in 2018.
"In response to media reports regarding Sheikha Latifa, we want to thank those who have expressed concern for her wellbeing, despite the coverage which certainly is not reflective of the actual position," the statement by her family said, according to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) embassy in London. In secret recordings obtained by the BBC and shared with CNN, the daughter of Dubai's billionaire ruler claimed she was being held hostage in a "villa converted into a jail" with no access to medical help.More Related News
