“It may be the last video I make.”
This is the full 40-minute video made by Princess Latifa and recently released by her friends.
WARNING: TRIGGERS. THIS IS DEEPLY DISTURBING.
“If you’re watching this, I’m either dead, or in a very, very, very, very bad situation.”
The first time she tried to escape, she was only 16. They stopped her at the border, put her in prison, and tortured her. She narrates the failed escape of one of her older sisters, who was also kidnapped and tortured.
IF YOU’RE A WOMAN IN THIS FAMILY, YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS.
“They made my adopted sister live in a cage inside the house.”
“The first time they tortured me I didn’t feel any pain, because I was in so much shock.”
“Your father told us to beat you until we kill you. Those were his orders.”
She tells the story of a female relative from Morocco who was killed just for being loud and outspoken.
Latifa was tortured in prison for three years as punishment for her first escape. She tells the details of the torture, deprivation, and total isolation. She was in a dark room with nothing except to wait for them to come and torture her again.
“They will not give me my passport. I’m not allowed to leave Dubai and I’m not allowed to drive. We have assigned drivers who watch us and report back to our father.”
“Now my sister Shamsa has a psychiatrist with her, and nurses. They watch her constantly. They watch her when she sleeps, and write down everything she says and does. They take notes on what she eats, when she eats, when she takes her pills–these drugs they give her that control her.”
“They’re not going to take me back alive.”
“He [my father] covers up a LOT of murders. He;s the worst criminal you can ever imagine in your life.”
“I have 30 brothers and sisters. He has this public image like he’s a family man, and it’s all bullshit. It’s PR. He has a son in Lebanon whom he’s only ever met twice. And he just gave him a handshake. The way he lives his life, and the way he treats other people, it’s not what’s being portrayed by his media.”
“There is no justice here, they don’t care. Especially if you’re a female. your life is so disposable.”
“I think it’s time that [my father] faces the consequences of everything he’s done in his life. And he will. No matter what he does to me. All the torture, everything; I’m not scared of him. He’s a pathetic human being. And he will face the consequences.”
“If I don’t make it out, I really hope that some positive change will come of this.”
