The UN says it has yet to receive any evidence from the United Arab Emirates that Dubai s Sheikha Latifa was still alive.
The United Nations Human Rights Office had asked for evidence about the daughter of Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum a fortnight ago after the BBC broadcast a video shot by Latifa saying she was being held captive and feared for her life.
Sheikh Mohammed is the vice president and prime minister of the UAE, of which Dubai is one of the seven emirates.
His 35-year-old daughter has not been seen in public since a foiled attempt to escape from the emirate in March 2018.

The United Nations has said it is still waiting for proof from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that Dubai s Princess Latifa, the daughter of Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, is still alive.
The UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) asked for the evidence nearly two weeks ago, after the BBC aired a documentary showing new footage of Latifa saying her father was holding her captive.

Last week, Tiina Jauhiainen, confidante of Princess Latifa, called for a tourism boycott of Dubai. Ms Jauhiainen feels this approach would send a clear message that the alleged incarceration of her friend, Princess Latifa, isn’t acceptable. (A statement sent from the UAE embassy in London said that Latifa was “being cared for at home”, and her family wanted to thank people for their concern.) It’s a high-profile case, largely because of Dubai’s.
