After the alleged kidnapping of Princess Latifa, Dubai’s ruling family made headlines again as another relative called for help. Zeynab Javadli, the ex-wife of a relative, called the UN Human Rights Council on Tuesday to ensure the safety of her and her children.
An Emirati court had previously granted custody of the children to her ex-husband, Sheikh Zayed bin Rashid al-Maktoum. His uncle is the Emir of Dubai and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum.
“Children and I fear for our lives”
Javadli accuses the Emirati authorities of abusing, intimidating and intimidating her in the nearly three-year custody battle. In a video published by the BBC, the 31-year-old from Azerbaijan says: “My children and I are afraid and fear for our lives and safety.” She therefore does not dare to leave the country for fear that the three Daughters (seen in the tweet below) can be taken from her. According to the information, they are staying in a hotel in Dubai.
Javadli’s cry for help is not the first from Dubai’s ruling family. Princess Latifa, allegedly abducted by her relatives, once turned to British broadcaster BBC with a video. In it, she said she was being held in a villa as a prison. In an attempt to escape, she was allegedly forcibly returned to Dubai in 2018.
No sign of Princess Latifa’s life
Earlier this year, the daughter of the Emir of Dubai said she was doing well. Photos on the Internet showed how they traveled through Europe. However, there are still doubts about the portrayal of her life in freedom and self-determination. Princess Latifa has not been seen in public since the failed escape attempt in 2018, according to the United Nations Human Rights Agency (OHCHR).
An ex-wife of the emir also fled to London and fought a custody battle there. Princess Haya said she received death threats in Dubai. Earlier this year, the London Supreme Court awarded her sole custody of their children.
