Contradicting her family’s insistence that she has been quietly enjoying time with them at home the past two years, Sheikha Latifa says in a series of videos released by her advocates that she is “a hostage” and fears for her life. “The police threaten me that they would take me outside and shoot me if I didn’t cooperate with them,” she said. After the 2018 episode, Sheikha Latifa was virtually unseen in public again. Before Tuesday, the only recent glimpse of Sheikha Latifa had come in December 2018, after she was brought back to Dubai. By late 2020, the videos from Sheikha Latifa had stopped coming, Haigh said, prompting him and Tiina Jauhiainen, a Finnish capoeira instructor who accompanied the sheikha on the yacht, to release them.
