Princess Latifa's European tour continues

Princess Latifa photo campaign continues in Iceland

09 August 2021

Sioned Taylor, who has been working for the Dubai royals for a number of years, has published another tourist photo to her Instagram account, showing Princess Latifa in Iceland with Marcus Essabri.

“Although Princess Latifa has not communicated directly to the public or via her own social media accounts, her appointed lawyers in London have been communicating her wish to ‘lead a quiet life out of the media spotlight’ to British journalists and campaigners”, said Radha Stirling, the founder of Detained in Dubai who Latifa called in the middle of the attack on Nostromo.

“The United Nations has followed Latifa’s case from the beginning in 2018 when we instructed Toby Cadman QC. Since then, they have expressed grave concerns for her safety and demanded proof of life and her freedom. The UN is the correct forum to continue to monitor Latifa’s situation and we have submitted relevant evidence and testimony to the body since her capture”, added Stirling.

UAE influence a human rights catastrophe

Two US citizens and one Emirati have been charged with acting and conspiring to act as agents of the UAE between April 2016 and April 2018, without registering as lobbyists for a foreign government. One American, Thomas Joseph Barrack, is also charged with making false statements to investigators and obstruction of justice. Barrack was an advisor to then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, raising questions about the UAE’s influence over his administration’s policy towards the oil-rich Gulf nat

“The attack on Nostromo was unprecedented and it was brutal”, commented Captain Hervé Jaubert, the former French secret service agent who helped Latifa escape. “We were in international waters when the military attack took place and we were all violently forced to the UAE, the country from which Latifa was seeking asylum. We should have been protected by Nostromo’s US flag and Latifa should never have been taken against her will”.

Americans detained in Dubai - A by-product of UAE lobbying?

American detained in Dubai is not alone. Why does Dubai jail tourists? UAE lobbying has suppressed criminality for over a decade and it is US citizens who pay. Nevada resident Peter Clark, originally from California, is one of a string of American tourists who have seen the inside of a Dubai jail. Just what is making Dubai so unsafe? Clark has called on Senator Rosen and Senator Cortez Masto to assist, after being arrested for trace elements of cannabis found in his urine when he was hospitalis

USA Today recently reported that the FBI was crucially involved in the attack that led to the capture of all onboard Nostromo. Detained in Dubai and Due Process International are continuing to investigate the incident. “We have set up a new campaign “Nostromo Attack” which will be updated with content we are able to extract from whistleblowers and from legal disclosure mandates”, explained Stirling. “This unprecedented act of violence against all onboard and including a US citizen under the US flag, must not be ignored. The escalation of lawless acts and offences committed extrajudicially will only end in more bloodshed. If the US was responsible for aiding their ally, they need to confront this tragic truth and ensure it never happens again”.

Taken from a US yacht: Princess Latifa & Hervé Jaubert - Did the US condone the attack?

Unprecedented attack on US yacht calls for Princess Latifa to be returned to US jurisdiction “3 years ago, I received a shattering call from Princess Latifa in the midst of an unprecedented attack on a US yacht”, recalls Radha Stirling, founder of Detained in Dubai who Latifa called upon for help from the US flagged Nostromo. “It was a call nobody ever wants to receive. Latifa told me there were men outside and she didn’t know what was happening. She heard gunshots. I told her to hide, hang up t

Safety of Princess Latifa leaves attack on Nostromo unresolved

In March 2018, the ruler of Dubai phoned the prime minister of India, and between them they mobilized the militaries of their respective countries to coordinate an attack on a private, US-registered yacht sailing in international waters and to abduct all onboard. The target was the Nostromo, captained by American citizen Herve Jaubert, and the objective was to capture the daughter of Sheikh Mohammed, Latifa Al Maktoum, who had escaped the UAE where she alleged she had been subjected to torture
