Sheikha Latifa Bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (Arabic: شيخة لطيفة بنت محمد بن راشد آل مكتوم) (aka Sheikha Latifa Mohammed Rashed Almaktoum, b. 1985) is a UAE princess and a member of Dubai royal family. She is the daughter of the Ruler of Dubai and Prime Minister of UAE Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Huriah Ahmed Al M'aash[1][2] from Algeria. Sheikha Latifa has two half-sisters with same name (one older and one younger).[citation needed] She is the full sister of Sheikha Maitha (1980), Sheikha Shamsa (1981),[3][4] Sheikh Majid (1987).[5]
Early life
In a video statement, Princess Latifa explained that she and her brother Sheikh Majid spent their early childhood under the care of their paternal aunt. [6] Her early education was in Dubai English Speaking School and later International School of Choueifat with one year at Latifa School for Girls. Sheikha Latifa is an experienced skydiver[7] coached by former world champion skydiver Stefania Martinengo[8] and held AFF Instructor rating.[9][10][11]
2018 disappearance
On 24 February 2018[12] Princess Latifa and Finnish national Tiina Jauhiainen left Oman via Jet Skis and joined American/French national Hervé Jaubert and his crew on Yacht 'Nostromo'.[13]
On 26 February 2018, Princess Latifa made contact with attorney Radha Stirling and Detained in Dubai notifying them of her leaving Dubai and posted few departing messages on her social media account detailing the circumstances and reasons for her leaving UAE.[14]
On 3 March 2018, before the disappearance near the coast of India, Hervé Jaubert made contact with Indian journalist in preparation for the end of their journey.[15]
On 4 March 2018, Princess Latifa, American/French national Hervé Jaubert and Finnish national Tiina Jauhiainen along with crew of three Philippine nationals disappeared in the Indian ocean, while closing on Goa (India),[16][17][18][19][20][21][22] on-board a US registered Yacht named 'Nostromo' with call sign WDG9847.[23][24][22][25] She has not been heard of since.
On 9 March 2018, Daily Mail broke the news on disappearance of Yacht 'Nostromo' and those aboard after being contacted by Princess Latifa's legal representatives.[26]
On 11 March 2018, a video made by her before her escape attempt that was supposed to be released in case her life was in danger during the ordeal was made public. In this video she gives her family background and explains the circumstances leading to her decision, also accusing her father of sustaining death squads and killing members of the royal family.[27][unreliable source?]
In response to queries on this incident near Indian coastline, Deputy Commandant Avinandan Mitra of Indian Coast Guard denied knowledge of the event saying, "we have no such information or operation." Indian Intelligence agencies said they were trying to verify the claims but refused to comment any further.[28]
Finnish National Bureau of Investigation (KRP) confirmed the disappearance of Tiina Jauhiainen, the opening of an investigation in close collaboration with the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs.[29][30] The brother of Miss Tiina Jauhiainen confirmed her friendship with Princess Latifa.[22][31] A 39 minutes video testimony was released by Detained In Dubai after Princess Latifa's disappearance.[32]
On 20 March 2018, Yacht 'Nostromo' was spotted at Port Fujairah[33] and left next day for Sri Lanka with released crew including Hervé Jaubert and three Filipino nationals on-board. Yacht 'Nostromo' reached Galle, Sri Lanka on 2 April 2018.[34][35]
On 22 March 2018, Princess Latifa's companion Tiina Jauhiainen was found, prompting the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs to terminate its search in cooperation with Dubai authorities. The location where Tiina Jauhiainen was found and details of prior events were not shared officially but she returned from Dubai to Finland through London on the night of 22 March 2018 via an Emirates flight, according to her family.[36][37][38]
According to representative advocacy group, a number of people [39] were detained or interrogated in connection to the event in UAE and Oman, including one arrest in Luxembourg under Interpol Red Notice issued by UAE, a primary contributor to Interpol foundation to which the UAE had donated $54 Million Dollars.[40][41][42][43]
Interception of Yacht 'Nostromo'
According to the testimonies of crew, the yacht was being actively searched for by Indian Coast Guard's search and rescue aircraft with tail number 'SAR CG 782' on 3 March 2018. On the day of interception it was again scouted by another aircraft. Before the raid on 4 March 2018 three marine vessels were spotted on radar of 'Nostromo' tailing it at speed less than five knots, two of the vessels were later identified as ICGS Shoor[44], ICGS Samarth[45] supported by description given in media statements of Hervé Jaubert such as "The two coast guards vessels had a huge marking on the side of the hull, which read 'Indian coast guards' and one had an ID number painted: 11".[34][46][47]
After sunset two unmarked speedboats carrying six to eight armed personnel in full military gear and Tavor assault rifles were launched from these ships to intercept 'Nostromo'. Raid began with use of stun and smoke grenades to disorient and incapacitate the crew followed by them being handcuffed, blindfolded and severely beaten.[48] After being taken over by Indian Coast Guard the yacht was boarded by at least ten Emirati special forces personnel who arrived by Helicopter.[49] Princess Latifa despite claiming asylum to Indian personnel and clear unwillingness to go back to UAE from where she was fleeing was forcefully taken away onto one of the warships.[34] 'Nostromo' and rest of the crew were taken to naval base in Fujairah escorted by Indian Coast Guard ships. During the six day journey back they were transferred to an UAE warship with 'Baynunah' written on side.[35]
During the raid, in her last voice mail to Radha Stirling, Princess Latifa in a panicked state said "Radha please help me, there are men outside" and that she had heard 'gunshots'.[50] Further attempts of communication from those on-board 'Nostromo' failed allegedly due to jamming from an Indian electronic warfare aircraft.[51][52] As of 27 April 2018 her whereabouts are unknown.[53]
In total at least three Indian, two Emirati warships, two military planes and a helicopter were involved in the raid on 'Nostromo', a US yacht registered to an American, about 50 miles off the coast of Goa, India.[7][12]
Following a couple of months of media blackout,[citation needed] especially in the Arab media, the western mainstream media started asking for clarity on the status of Sheikha Latifa.[54]
Human Rights Watch questioned Dubai's story, and asked Dubai's authorities to reveal the location of Sheikha Latifa, adding: "Failure to disclose the whereabouts and status of the princess could qualify as an enforced disappearance, given the evidence suggesting that she was last seen as UAE authorities were detaining her."[55]
Ad-Diyaar, a mainstream Arab newspaper, also published the calls by Human Rights Watch raising the issue that Sheikha Latifa has been forcibly hidden.[56]
The BBC reported statements from the Dubai authorities that those making claims of a disappearance had "a record of criminal activity".[54]

In the video, Sheikha Latifa talks of her skydiving hobby. Kristen Cotten, a 33-year-old skydive instructor and friend of Sheikha Latifa, told the AP the woman in the video and the identification documents is indeed her friend. "I think a lot of people think it's fake just because it sounds so crazy," said Cotten, who was an instructor in Dubai between 2012 and 2016 and now lives in Minnesota. "If I hadn't worked with her and known her and seen her every day I'd probably feel the same way. But that's the same girl I saw every day at the drop zone." Sheikha Latifa also was shown and identified in pictures from 2016 and 2017 on an Instagram account connected to her skydiving club. Past articles in state-linked media also confirm she is a daughter of the ruler.

Si tratta dell'ex campionessa mondiale di paracadutismo Stefania Martinengo, italiana che ha insegnato quello sport alla principessa per lungo tempo. «Fino a poco tempo fa non sapevo di ciò che stava subendo spiega -, ma di recente abbiamo parlato di un progetto da fare insieme. Mi ha chiamata più volte e mi ha detto che la situazione stava per cambiare. Mi ha raccontato le ragioni per cui non poteva lasciare Dubai. Alla sorella maggiore, mi disse, era capitato a 19 anni di tentare di scappare da Londra. Dopo due mesi l'hanno presa e riportata in Patria dove tuttora sarebbe in detenzione e drogata. Siamo molto preoccupati riguardo alla sua sorte e vorremmo che ci fossero date le dovute risposte».
