Princess Latifa Maktoum (pictured) daughter of the ruler of Dubai, tried to escape the Arab Kingdom in March to start a new life abroad

New photos have emerged of the runaway daughter of the ruler of Dubai six months after she tried to flee from the country to start a new life.

Pictures were released of Princess Latifa - who has not been seen since her escape bid - as Amnesty International accused the Arab kingdom of 'torture and kidnap' over her disappearance.

The never-before-seen photos - released by a friend who helped her escape - show the Princess taking part in her favourite hobby of skydiving, while others show her playing with two of her dogs.

Princess Latifa has not been seen or heard from since March when MailOnline first revealed she had attempted to leave Dubai and the strict control of her life by her father, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashed Al-Maktoum.

The 32-year-old was forcibly taken back to Dubai after being tracked down by UAE forces to a yacht moored off the coast of India.

A former French secret service agent who also assisted the Princess and three members of his yacht's crew were beaten up after their vessel was seized.

Dubai Government sources only confirmed she was back in the country and that she was 'with her family' and 'doing excellent' - but Amnesty International has accused the Arab kingdom of 'torture and kidnap' over her disappearance

Amnesty has today called on the United Arab Emirates to respect Princess Latifa's right to be allowed to leave the country.

In a statement the human rights organisation called on the UAE's international allies to pressure the Government of Dubai to cease holding the Princess.

The United Nations are set to discuss the enforced disappearance of the Princess next week in Geneva where they are expected to heavily criticise the Dubai authorities for their silence on the Princess whereabouts.

A spokesman for Amnesty said: 'Today marks six months since Sheikha Latifa and five other people were detained at sea by Indian and UAE security forces while the boat they were aboard was seized.

'Sheikha Latifa has been held incommunicado in an undisclosed location by the UAE. Amnesty International considers this incident to have entailed multiple crimes under international law by both India and UAE, including arbitrary detention, torture and enforced disappearance.

The national Government of the UAE – a federal state of which Dubai is a constituent member – should act to ensure that Dubai respects its citizens' human rights.'

Since her escape attempt the fate of Princess Latifa is unknown as she has not been seen in public and her father refuses to say where she is.

Dubai Government sources only confirmed she was back in the country and that she was 'with her family' and 'doing excellent'.

But the NGO Detained in Dubai, who have led the campaign for her release, fear she might never be seen again unless international pressure can be brought on the Arab kingdom.

'It is six months since anyone outside of Dubai has seen or heard from Princess Latifa, said David Haigh from Detained in Dubai.

'We do not know if she is even alive still. We are pleased that Amnesty has taken up her case and we are confident that the United Nations working party on enforced disappearance will have something to say next week when they discuss the case.'

MailOnline told how the Princess left Dubai claiming she had been mistreated and had restrictions imposed on her by her father.

In a leaked video she said she was not allowed to leave the country and was accompanied by a minder whenever she went out.

She also expressed fears that she would be silenced, saying: 'I'm making this video because it could be the last video I make.'

After months of planning with her close friend Tiian Jauhiainen, who released the latest photos, she fled to Oman where she boarded a yacht owned by former French secret service agent Herve Jaubert.

The Princess had planned to start a new life in America but on March 5th, three weeks into her escape bid, their yacht Nostromo was surrounded by Indian forces.

Jaubert and three Fillipino crew members were beaten up.

Soldiers threatened to throw Jauhiainen overboard as they grabbed the Princess who screamed she was seeking asylum but was ignored.

Sources have dismissed the outrage over the Princess's treatment and the situation with her father Dubai's ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashed Al-Maktoum (pictured with Queen Elizabeth) as a 'soap opera' and insisted it was a 'family matter'

Jaubert and Jauhiainen, a Finish national, were held for two days and forced to sign a confession that they had kidnapped the Princess.

They were released after the story broke and the Dubai authorities knew they could no longer hold the pair in secret.

Jaubert said he had been contacted by the Princess after she read his book 'Escape from Dubai' where he detailed his own escape from the country after wrongly being accused of fraud.

He claimed during his imprisonment he was kept in solitary confinement and blindfolded before signing a confession that he 'kidnapped' the Princess.

The authorities in Dubai have remained mostly silent about the escape bid and her subsequent capture.
