Queen Noor of Jordan has asked for information on missing Dubai Princess Shamsa, following reports that her younger sister Latifa was being held ‘hostage’  by her father Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

Queen Noor, who serves on the board of commissioners for the International Commission on Missing Persons, asked "Where is her sister Shamsa??" on Twitter on Sunday, in a tweet that was accompanied by a BBC article about her younger sister Latifa being held captive.

"I'm a hostage, I'm not free. I am imprisoned in this jail. My life is not in my hands," the 35-year-old princess said, with her back to a wall in a locked bathroom.

Last year, a British judge ruled that Sheikh Mohammed was keeping both his daughters, Latifa and Shamsa, captive and had also kidnapped the two on separate occasions.
