Human Rights Watch (HRW) has urged authorities in the United Arab Emirates to reveal the whereabouts of Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the daughter of Dubai's ruler.

After saying her family were imprisoning and abusing her, Sheikha Latifa attempted to flee with the help of French former spy Hervé Jaubert and long-time friend Tiina Johanna Jauhiainen, who is originally from Finland.

The two women snuck into neighbouring Oman before boarding a small boat to meet Mr Jaubert aboard his boat.

The Nostromo set sail for the Indian coast but was intercepted by three Indian and two Emirati warships on 4 March - with Mr Jaubert claiming he and his crew were beaten by commandos.

Ms Jauhiainen said she and Sheikha Latifa were below deck when they heard shouting and gunfire.

They locked themselves in a bathroom but the cabin filled with gas. When they went on deck, she says Mr Jaubert's face was "bloody" and "unrecognisable".

Indian officials said they had no information about the incident, although media reports suggest the raid was authorised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Dubai's government and Emirati officials did not respond to requests for comment.Ms Jauhiainen, speaking at a news conference in London last month, said Sheikha Latifa kept repeating during the raid: "I am seeking political asylum."

She told reporters: "At that time I was told to keep my eyes shut, with a threat to be shot if I didn't comply.

"Then I heard someone speaking Arabic and Latifa said: 'Shoot me here, just don't take me back to the UAE.'

"She was taken away kicking and screaming."

In a statement on Saturday, HRW said Dubai authorities must reveal her whereabouts, 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."
