Former UN human rights envoy Mary Robinson has called not intervening in the case of Sheikha Latifa her “biggest” mistake.

The daughter of the ruler of Dubai tried to flee the country in 2018 and later sent secret video messages to friends accusing her father of holding her “hostage” as she feared for her life, BBC Panorama said.
