This is the letter hand-written by Dubai s kidnapped Princess Latifa, begging British police to help her older sister who was captured by their sheikh ruler father 20 years ago, MailOnline can reveal.
The two pages of A4 lined paper, written in neat black pen, outline how Princess Shamsa – who fled Sheikh Mohammed al Maktoum s Surrey estate in 2000 - tried to escape her royal life.
Latifa, 34, who is herself being held against her will in Dubai by her father after trying to escape, claims Shamsa – now 38 - was enslaved and physically and mentally abused.
Addressing her letter To the Cambridge Police , Latifa wrote of Shamsa: She escaped because… she had no freedom of choice in her life and she was enslaved and oppressed and suffered physical abuse at the hands of family members.

Amor Masovic has spent 28 years searching for human remains across Bosnia and Herzegovina.
But in that time, there have only been a few times, no more than 20, when people have come forward with information – tips on where the bodies are buried.
“The amount of information [obtained] from insiders who were involved in war crimes, or at least in burying war crime victims, is negligible,” Masovic, director of Bosnia’s Missing Persons Institute, told Al Jazeera.
Many participated in war crimes in Bosnia, and they still know where the remains are currently buried – from the person who pulled the trigger and the driver who transported the bodies from the execution site to the mass grave diggers.
