Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made of whether Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum has been released from house arrest in the United Arab Emirates.

We are aware that the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has asked the UAE Mission in Geneva for further information and proof of life. We will be monitoring the outcome of this closely.
