Amnesty International Ireland has supported calls by lawyers for Princess Sheikha Latifa for an independent delegation be sent to Dubai to investigate her conditions. Such a move could establish “if she is being detained against her will,” according to the organisation’s executive director Colm O’Gorman. The group Free Latifa, has called on the UN to send independent legal and medical professionals to Dubai to assess the 33-year-old woman’s situation. “She spent many years in Ireland involved in showjumping,” the source said of Princess Haya. I have known and worked with Princess Haya for many years in her capacity as a member of the UN Global Humanitarian Forum and as a UN Messenger of Peace.
