After this account posted these pictures with Sheikha Latifa, on May 25 the United Nations requested "credible" evidence that Sheikha Latifa is alive.

These pictures come sometime after Sheikha Latifa published a video through British media saying that she was being held "hostage" and that she feared for her life. Subsequently, the United Nations Human Rights Office requested February the UAE to provide evidence that Sheikha Latifa is alive.

Sheikha Latifa, 35, has not been seen in public since her failed attempt to flee the UAE in March 2018.

He said that under a plan prepared by the French-American Herve Jaubert, Sheikha Latifa and Finnish Tiina Jauhiainen left the UAE on February 24, 2018, and met in the Sultanate of Oman with Christian Elombo, a friend of Tiina Jauhiainen and a resident of the Sultanate.

Then he took them in a boat to a yacht rented by Herve Jaubert. A special squad intercepted this yacht in early March in international waters off Goa, and its passengers were taken to the UAE, while Elombo spent several months in prison in the Sultanate of Oman and then in Luxembourg.
