Be careful.’ 0:03:51.380,0:03:53.960 And Shamsa told me that and I told her, 0:03:53.960,0:03:58.500 ‘Stop calling Leila. Because if you'll call her[br]they’re going to find you.’ 0:03:58.500,0:04:01.049 I think she was very lonely in the UK by herself. 0:04:01.049,0:04:05.040 She had nobody else to talk to. So she talked[br]to us and she kept talking to Leila. 0:04:05.040,0:04:09.329 So yeah after two months, they found her. 0:04:09.329,0:04:12.180 Basically, she was on the streets 0:04:12.180,0:04:15.620 and a bunch of guys in a car just drove up 0:04:15.620,0:04:20.540 they found her, they grabbed her, kicking and screaming threw her in the car 0:04:20.540,0:04:22.780 and she was driven somewhere 0:04:22.780,0:04:26.360 by a helicopter.. she was driven to a helicopter somehow 0:04:26.360,0:04:30.300 ended up in France and from France she came to Dubai. 0:04:30.310,0:04:33.890 She was drugged on the plane. 0:04:33.890,0:04:36.820 It was a private jet, so nobody was checking anything. 0:04:36.820,0:04:38.720 She was drugged, brought back to Dubai 0:04:39.020,0:04:41.720 and basically put in this building. 0:04:43.340,0:04:47.020 It’s the building, it’s called ‘Kheima’,[br]which means ‘Tent’ in Arabic. 0:04:47.020,0:04:49.340 But it’s not a tent, it’s just called ‘The Tent’ 0:04:49.340,0:04:50.260 and 0:04:50.820,0:04:53.060 And it’s on.. it’s in Zabeel Palace 0:04:53.280,0:04:56.780 the property of my step-mom Hind. 0:04:56.780,0:04:59.240 And she was kept there and locked there. 0:04:59.240,0:05:01.080 And during that time, 0:05:01.080,0:05:05.480 we could send her some things like clothes or whatever. 0:05:05.480,0:05:09.120 So, we snuck in a telephone for her. 0:05:09.120,0:05:13.440 ‘We’ meaning me and my adopted sister Mona 0:05:13.440,0:05:15.280 Mona ??Al Lamara?? 0:05:15.280,0:05:18.520 We were in contact with her and 0:05:18.520,0:05:21.220 we snuck in a telephone, so we could talk to her. 0:05:21.220,0:05:23.180 So while she was inside, 0:05:23.180,0:05:26.420 she contacted some journalists in the UK 0:05:26.420,0:05:29.380 and they released the story to The Guardian. 0:05:29.380,0:05:33.880 I think it was around May 2001 when the story came out, I’m not really sure. 0:05:33.880,0:05:35.460 The stories.. 0:05:35.460,0:05:38.460 Google ‘Shamsa Al Maktoum’ and it’s[br]the first thing that come up. 0:05:38.460,0:05:41.340 Her, her escape and all of that. 0:05:41.340,0:05:45.760 So when the story came out, I think they realized[br]that somehow she’s in a communication or 0:05:45.760,0:05:47.420 somebody was helping her or whatever. 0:05:47.420,0:05:52.640 So the police went and they took Mona from her University 0:05:52.640,0:05:55.820 and they questioned and tortured her 0:05:55.820,0:06:00.340 And my sister Maitha came to my room 0:06:00.340,0:06:03.180 in the evening the same day, and she said 0:06:03.180,0:06:07.000 ‘Mona was taken by the police and they’re questioning her 0:06:07.000,0:06:08.860 and beating her up basically 0:06:08.860,0:06:10.580 what do you know about Shamsa?’ 0:06:10.580,0:06:12.660 And Maitha was kind of acting like the interrogator. 0:06:12.660,0:06:13.880 You know like.. 0:06:13.880,0:06:16.700 I’m gonna interrogate you to get information from you. 0:06:16.700,0:06:18.420 I said I don’t know anything. 0:06:18.420,0:06:21.140 And.. so anyway 0:06:21.140,0:06:26.420 I went and I told my other adopted sister Fatima 0:06:26.440,0:06:28.280 Fatima ??Lamara?? 0:06:28.280,0:06:32.560 Who by the way was kept in a cabin in our house. 0:06:32.560,0:06:33.400 She was kept.. 0:06:33.400,0:06:35.520 It’s another story. 0:06:37.380,0:06:42.400 She’s kept in a cabin on our property, but locked up. 0:06:42.400,0:06:46.360 Separated from the rest of the family because she’s naughty. 0:06:46.440,0:06:47.820 Her naughty behavior. 0:06:47.840,0:06:49.820 She's..She’s rebellious. 0:06:49.820,0:06:53.220 So she’s basically kept in a cage in our house. 0:06:55.180,0:07:00.260 And anyway.. I.. I wrote a note for her and 0:07:00.260,0:07:03.860 I told our housemaid to give it to her 0:07:03.860,0:07:05.920 to slide it under her door and she did. 0:07:05.980,0:07:09.120 And I told her you know Mona has been taken and she’s being questioned by the police 0:07:09.120,0:07:10.420 and everything. 0:07:10.420,0:07:15.580 And then Fatima just went crazy, she just[br]like broke down the window.. she.. she.. 0:07:15.580,0:07:16.580 and the door. 0:07:16.580,0:07:20.069 She threw this.. the metal thing outside the window. 0:07:20.069,0:07:21.180 She broke it. 0:07:21.180,0:07:22.430 She got out. 0:07:22.430,0:07:23.440 She took a knife. 0:07:23.440,0:07:28.560 She was threatening Ali, who is a.. like he is a chef.. 0:07:28.560,0:07:30.920 but he is also like.. the brother-in-law 0:07:30.930,0:07:33.000 of my father’s right-hand man. 0:07:33.000,0:07:35.790 So he was kind of like in charge of the staff[br]or whatever. 0:07:35.790,0:07:37.200 So she took a knife and she was threatening him like 0:07:37.200,0:07:38.640 ʻI want to see Mona, I want to see Monaʼ 0:07:38.640,0:07:40.300 So they took Fatima. 0:07:40.300,0:07:41.930 They put her in prison and they tortured her also. 0:07:41.930,0:07:44.000 And then they realized that she knew nothing. 0:07:44.000,0:07:49.640 We didn’t tell her because we couldn’t tell her that we were in contact with Shamsa. 0:07:49.640,0:07:54.500 Anyway what happened after that, yeah so that day I kind of lost everyone. 0:07:54.510,0:07:59.460 All my friends, all my.. my sisters everything. 0:07:59.460,0:08:00.580 I lost everyone that day. 0:08:00.580,0:08:02.560 It was.. it was very hard day for me. 0:08:03.420,0:08:06.740 And of course I lost my communication with Shamsa. 0:08:07.580,0:08:10.900 So approximately a year later 0:08:10.900,0:08:16.080 as a 16 year old I decided that I’m gonna escape. 0:08:16.080,0:08:19.120 Back then I didn’t have the Internet. 0:08:19.120,0:08:20.540 I didn’t have.. 0:08:20.540,0:08:24.260 I was very.. it was 2002. 0:08:24.270,0:08:27.490 Internet existed but I didn’t have it, they[br]wouldn’t allow me to have Internet. 0:08:27.490,0:08:28.490 I didn’t have Internet. 0:08:28.490,0:08:29.490 I didn’t have phone. 0:08:29.490,0:08:32.580 The only phone I had was given to me by my friend 0:08:32.580,0:08:35.960 so it wasn’t approved by my family or anything. 0:08:35.960,0:08:39.320 So I decided I’m gonna escape. 0:08:39.320,0:08:41.840 I’m gonna go, I’m gonna leave UAE. 0:08:41.840,0:08:44.900 I’m gonna find a lawyer in another country. 0:08:44.900,0:08:46.270 Like I’m gonna go to Oman. 0:08:46.270,0:08:49.620 I’m gonna just go there and I’m gonna find a lawyer or something 0:08:49.700,0:08:51.220 and I’m gonna help Shamsa. 0:08:51.230,0:08:52.230 In the worst case scenario if they catch me,[br]they’re gonna put me with her. 0:08:52.230,0:08:56.210 I’m gonna be in prison with her, so at least[br]I can see her and I’m happy and she knows 0:08:56.210,0:08:58.850 that she has somebody with her and she’s[br]not gonna do anything crazy. 0:08:58.850,0:08:59.850 She’s not gonna hurt herself. 0:08:59.850,0:09:01.500 She has her sister with her, so she’s not gonna do anything. 0:09:01.500,0:09:02.500 You know.. 0:09:02.500,0:09:06.010 So I was thinking either I get her help or[br]I get to put in prison with her. 0:09:06.010,0:09:08.520 So in 2002 I escaped. 0:09:09.720,0:09:12.000 And they caught me at the border. 0:09:12.000,0:09:14.470 And yeah like.. 0:09:14.470,0:09:17.750 I was very, very naive I thought you could just go. 0:09:17.750,0:09:21.400 I thought you can just.. there’s like a[br]border and then there’s like sand or what.. 0:09:21.400,0:09:23.030 I didn’t realize what the border looks like. 0:09:23.030,0:09:24.250 I’ve never been to a border in my life. 0:09:24.250,0:09:26.180 I didn’t have Internet to research it. 0:09:26.180,0:09:28.230 I didn’t have anyone to talk to, to give me advice. 0:09:28.230,0:09:29.230 I couldn’t.. 0:09:29.230,0:09:30.580 I was totally by myself. 0:09:30.580,0:09:32.130 I had no one. 0:09:32.130,0:09:37.520 Nobody even knew what.. like I mean.. people..my friends around me in school like 0:09:37.520,0:09:40.340 they didn’t know what I was going through. 0:09:40.340,0:09:42.840 I couldn’t talk to anybody about it. 0:09:44.240,0:09:51.430 So yeah.. and I wasn’t allowed out. 0:09:51.430,0:09:54.540 I wasn’t allowed to go outside.. like I was going to school. 0:09:54.540,0:09:57.680 I would sometimes go to the family’s stables to horse ride 0:09:57.680,0:10:02.080 and apart from that I didn’t do anything else and then I went home. 0:10:02.080,0:10:04.260 So I did I didn’t have.. 0:10:04.500,0:10:05.680 I was.. 0:10:05.680,0:10:07.020 I didn’t know anything. 0:10:07.030,0:10:11.800 So, yeah, I they caught me at the border basically and then they found out who I was. 0:10:11.800,0:10:19.540 They brought me back to Dubai and my father’s right-hand man put me in prison 0:10:19.540,0:10:26.040 under my father’s orders and then his all his CID guys, they.. 0:10:27.700,0:10:30.740 yeah, they.. they put me in person and they tortured me. 0:10:34.840,0:10:40.360 Basically, one guy was holding me, while the other guy was beating me.. 0:10:40.360,0:10:43.360 and they did that repeatedly. 0:10:43.360,0:10:46.700 I think the first time they tortured me, I didn’t feel any pain 0:10:46.700,0:10:47.920 because I was in so much shock. 0:10:47.920,0:10:48.780 I didn’t.. 0:10:48.780,0:10:51.300 It was like somebody was hitting me through a pillow or something. 0:10:51.300,0:10:54.450 I could see what they were doing, but I just.. 0:10:54.450,0:10:57.270 I was like, are they just destroying my body? 0:10:57.270,0:10:58.720 What’s going on? 0:10:58.720,0:11:02.370 I didn’t.. didn’t even.. the pain didn’t[br]register because I think I was in so much 0:11:02.370,0:11:09.520 shock and it was a long day with little sleep[br]and I just.. the pain didn’t.. 0:11:09.780,0:11:10.660 I didn’t.. 0:11:10.660,0:11:14.060 I didn’t feel the pain and it was like a[br]half hour torture session. 0:11:14.070,0:11:16.360 And then the next times I was tortured, it[br]was 0:11:16.360,0:11:22.520 for five hours and yeah I was just pulled from the bed 0:11:22.800,0:11:28.380 driven to another location in the palace 0:11:28.380,0:11:29.900 in the same building, 0:11:29.900,0:11:33.580 The Kheima, the tent, which is not a tent. 0:11:33.590,0:11:36.600 And yeah, they tortured me. 0:11:36.600,0:11:40.040 I knew how long it was, because I had a watch 0:11:40.040,0:11:45.230 and they told me that your father told us 0:11:45.230,0:11:47.250 to beat you until we kill you. 0:11:47.250,0:11:51.390 That’s his orders, your father’s orders. 0:11:51.390,0:11:56.040 Your father, the Ruler of Dubai, that’s what he said. 0:11:56.040,0:12:00.240 So all of this public image that he’s trying to portray human rights 0:12:00.240,0:12:02.000 Its bullshit. 0:12:02.000,0:12:05.400 He’s the most evil person I’ve ever met in my life. 0:12:05.400,0:12:06.820 He’s pure evil. 0:12:06.820,0:12:09.040 There’s nothing good in him. 0:12:09.040,0:12:11.580 He’s responsible for so many people’s deaths 0:12:11.580,0:12:14.880 and ruining so many people’s lives. 0:12:20.680,0:12:22.220 He doesn’t care about anyone. 0:12:22.220,0:12:24.960 He only cares about his image, his reputation, 0:12:24.960,0:12:29.500 and he will gladly kill somebody, 0:12:29.500,0:12:31.060 but he doesn’t do it himself. 0:12:31.060,0:12:36.970 He just.. he.. he doesn’t do the dirty work himself. 0:12:36.970,0:12:39.340 He’ll just get other people to do it. 0:12:39.340,0:12:41.440 He doesn’t care. 0:12:43.300,0:12:47.380 After my uncle died, he killed one of his wives 0:12:47.380,0:12:49.070 he killed.. he killed her 0:12:49.070,0:12:51.820 everyone knows about it, the Moroccan one. 0:12:51.820,0:12:54.240 Because she was too.. 0:12:54.240,0:12:56.240 her behavior was too outrageous. 0:12:56.240,0:12:57.240 She was too.. 0:12:57.240,0:12:58.240 I think..I think she just talked too much 0:12:58.240,0:12:59.650 and he felt threatened by her. 0:12:59.650,0:13:01.650 So he just killed her. 0:13:01.650,0:13:03.900 Of course, he couldn’t do that when my uncle was alive, 0:13:03.900,0:13:06.339 but he could do that after my uncle died. 0:13:06.340,0:13:12.160 Everybody knows what kind of person he is. 0:13:12.160,0:13:15.220 So in total I was imprisoned for three years and four months. 0:13:15.220,0:13:20.950 I went in June 2002 and I came out October 2005. 0:13:20.950,0:13:23.320 I don’t know.. do the math. 0:13:23.320,0:13:28.600 But in 2003 for a week I came out of prison. 0:13:28.610,0:13:30.760 They put me back home, 0:13:30.760,0:13:32.560 home, it’s not a home. 0:13:32.560,0:13:34.840 It’s my house, my mom’s house. 0:13:34.840,0:13:37.900 They put me back there for a week 0:13:37.900,0:13:41.060 and it was surreal. 0:13:42.580,0:13:45.280 When I went home to see my mom 0:13:45.280,0:13:48.640 I expected some sympathy? 0:13:48.640,0:13:50.100 Maybe? 0:13:50.100,0:13:54.720 Since prison was not a normal prison experience 0:13:54.720,0:13:59.380 it was constant torture, constant torture. 0:13:59.380,0:14:01.540 Even when they weren’t physically beating[br]me up 0:14:01.540,0:14:02.800 they would torture me. 0:14:02.800,0:14:05.280 They would switch off all the lights. 0:14:05.280,0:14:08.400 I was in solitary confinement by myself totally 0:14:08.400,0:14:09.720 and there’s no windows, there’s no light, 0:14:09.720,0:14:11.880 so when they switched off the light, it was pitch black. 0:14:11.880,0:14:14.440 They could switch it off for days, so I didn’t[br]know 0:14:14.440,0:14:17.040 when one day ended then the next began 0:14:17.040,0:14:18.800 and then they would.. 0:14:18.800,0:14:21.420 they would make sounds to harass me and 0:14:21.420,0:14:22.720 then they would come in the middle of the night 0:14:22.720,0:14:24.600 pull me out of bed to beat me 0:14:24.600,0:14:28.420 and it wasn’t.. 0:14:28.420,0:14:31.380 it wasn’t a normal prison experience by any means. 0:14:31.380,0:14:32.730 It was just torture. 0:14:32.730,0:14:33.899 And they didn’t give me anything. 0:14:33.899,0:14:36.160 I didn’t have a change of clothes. 0:14:36.160,0:14:39.380 So I wore the same clothes and I would try[br]to stay as clean as possible, 0:14:39.380,0:14:41.980 but you know after the torture sessions I couldn’t even walk. 0:14:41.980,0:14:46.060 So I would crawl to the bathroom to get water, to open a tap.. to get some water. 0:14:46.060,0:14:47.490 I would just crawl on my hands and knees. 0:14:47.490,0:14:49.220 There was no medical help at all. 0:14:49.220,0:14:50.220 They didn’t care. 0:14:50.220,0:14:51.980 They wanted me dead anyway. 0:14:51.980,0:14:55.860 And yeah, so I didn’t have anything. 0:14:55.860,0:15:00.580 I had a thin mattress that had holes in it[br]and had stains of blood and shit 0:15:00.580,0:15:03.131 and it was disgusting, smelled so bad. 0:15:03.131,0:15:07.010 I had a thin blanket also was so disgusting. 0:15:07.010,0:15:09.190 And I had the clothes I was wearing. 0:15:09.190,0:15:12.970 And then I think in the last few months, they[br]gave me a toothbrush, just one toothbrush, 0:15:12.970,0:15:13.970 you know. 0:15:13.970,0:15:16.130 So I didn’t.. 0:15:16.130,0:15:20.570 I didn’t.. it was so hard to stay clean[br]and towards the end they gave me some clothes, 0:15:20.570,0:15:24.170 clothes washing.. like Tide, you know, the[br]clothes washing powder. 0:15:24.170,0:15:30.060 So I would use the clothes washing powder[br]on my skin to try to stay clean you know. 0:15:30.060,0:15:31.060 It was really disgusting. 0:15:31.060,0:15:36.780 So, yeah.. so after that experience, I went[br]to the house for one week and it was.. 0:15:36.780,0:15:44.060 from that to a house with soap and clothes and this and that and it was like a shock to me. 0:15:44.060,0:15:47.460 So I would shower like five times a day because I could. 0:15:47.460,0:15:48.590 There was warm water. 0:15:48.590,0:15:49.790 There was.. there was soap. 0:15:49.790,0:15:50.810 There was a towel. 0:15:50.810,0:15:51.810 There was clothes. 0:15:51.810,0:15:52.810 I couldn’t believe it. 0:15:52.810,0:15:53.810 There’s toothbrush. 0:15:53.810,0:15:55.580 There was food like.. like proper food, 0:15:55.580,0:15:57.160 not food in like little container 0:15:57.160,0:15:58.840 meat and rice, meat and rice. 0:15:58.840,0:16:01.200 It wasn’t like these little container boxes you know. 0:16:01.210,0:16:02.270 It was food that I can.. 0:16:02.270,0:16:05.340 I can eat fresh food. 0:16:05.340,0:16:08.110 I was very, very anemic when I came out. 0:16:08.110,0:16:09.800 I had lost so much weight. 0:16:09.800,0:16:14.061 All of my clothes were hanging off me and[br]I couldn’t.. 0:16:14.061,0:16:18.339 I needed to get new clothes. 0:16:18.339,0:16:19.860 And everything was just a shock to me. 0:16:19.860,0:16:23.520 So I remember, very weird, but 0:16:23.520,0:16:26.060 I remember when I came out to the prison for the first time 0:16:26.060,0:16:30.360 even in the car, I remember the car felt[br]like it was going so fast because 0:16:30.360,0:16:34.459 I had not moved for one year and one month. 0:16:34.459,0:16:36.980 So the car felt like I was in a roller-coaster. 0:16:36.980,0:16:41.000 I was like wow, this is just going so fast. 0:16:41.000,0:16:44.280 And when I went home having all these people talking normally to me. 0:16:44.280,0:16:46.040 Normal? Normal after what I’ve been through? 0:16:46.040,0:16:49.080 I don’t know what normal is anymore you[br]know, like nothing is normal. 0:16:49.080,0:16:54.580 Every time..I mean even now.. 0:16:54.580,0:16:58.900 I am.. if I hear a noise I just wake up and 0:16:58.900,0:17:01.760 I remember for a few years after I came out of prison 0:17:01.760,0:17:04.380 whenever I could hear a noise outside the door 0:17:04.380,0:17:06.480 I would just jump up out of bed, 0:17:06.489,0:17:08.128 you know, I would just jump. 0:17:08.128,0:17:11.398 I wouldn’t..and I would stand on my feet because I’m ready you know.. 0:17:11.400,0:17:14.240 I’m ready for anything. 0:17:15.180,0:17:16.579 Yeah. 0:17:18.020,0:17:25.079 So yeah.. that wasn’t a good time. 0:17:25.839,0:17:30.300 So after a week of being at the house back[br]with my mom, my sister 0:17:30.300,0:17:33.630 and she didn’t show me compassion at all. 0:17:33.630,0:17:35.540 Actually, what she said to me was 0:17:35.540,0:17:37.950 ʻYou think your prison experience was bad?ʼ 0:17:37.950,0:17:40.700 ʻThere’s others that’s so much more worse[br]than thatʼ 0:17:40.700,0:17:44.340 and when that happened I felt 0:17:44.720,0:17:48.360 really, really disappointed and sad. 0:17:48.360,0:17:50.920 I really expected some compassion from her like any.. 0:17:50.920,0:17:52.760 as any kind of mother 0:17:52.760,0:17:56.740 but there was no compassion. 0:17:57.980,0:18:01.300 I also didn’t get any compassion from my sister, Maitha. 0:18:01.300,0:18:04.640 She didn’t, but that’s okay...you know 0:18:06.800,0:18:09.240 They could have helped me if they wanted to.. 0:18:09.240,0:18:10.440 but they didn’t.. 0:18:11.400,0:18:17.960 But at the same time they didn’t put me[br]inside, but they could have helped me. 0:18:17.970,0:18:20.320 They could've visited me if they wanted to. 0:18:20.320,0:18:22.379 They could've fought for me a little bit more. 0:18:22.380,0:18:25.080 They could've had some compassion, but they[br]kind of looked at me like 0:18:25.080,0:18:26.440 ‘Oh you did this to yourself’ 0:18:26.440,0:18:28.000 No I didn’t. 0:18:28.000,0:18:29.659 I didn’t tell Shamsa to run away from England. 0:18:29.659,0:18:31.350 I didn’t tell her to keep calling Leila. 0:18:31.350,0:18:32.519 I didn’t tell her to get caught. 0:18:32.520,0:18:33.420 I didn’t.. 0:18:33.420,0:18:34.580 I didn’t do this to myself. 0:18:34.800,0:18:35.980 My only thing was.. 0:18:36.040,0:18:39.400 I was trying to defend my sister and trying to help her 0:18:39.400,0:18:41.480 and that’s what happened to me 0:18:41.600,0:18:44.240 So back to me being at the house. 0:18:44.259,0:18:46.080 So I only stayed in the house for one week 0:18:46.080,0:18:49.500 because after one week I had somewhat of a breakdown 0:18:50.020,0:18:53.000 I don’t remember how exactly the fight started, 0:18:53.000,0:18:55.700 but I just kept screaming that I wanted to 0:18:55.710,0:18:58.790 go see Shamsa and I couldn’t stop screaming. 0:18:58.790,0:19:00.520 It was like.. 0:19:03.100,0:19:04.320 I can’t explain it. 0:19:04.320,0:19:06.920 I literally just kept screaming and screaming[br]that 0:19:06.920,0:19:07.899 ‘I want to see Shamsa, I want to see Shamsa’ 0:19:07.900,0:19:08.960 ‘I want to see Shamsa’ 0:19:08.960,0:19:11.880 and that ended up like I was physically [br]trying to fight people. 0:19:11.889,0:19:14.970 So they were holding me and I don’t remember[br]who they called. 0:19:14.970,0:19:20.090 They called the police, but at some point[br]there was some men holding me again. 0:19:20.090,0:19:22.559 And then there was a Doctor. 0:19:22.560,0:19:26.640 I saw a Doctor and she injected me and they[br]took me either in a car or an ambulance, 0:19:26.640,0:19:28.220 I don’t remember. 0:19:28.220,0:19:31.420 I think it was a car because I was just screaming. 0:19:31.429,0:19:32.429 I couldn’t remember. 0:19:32.429,0:19:33.429 They tried to tranquilize me. 0:19:33.429,0:19:34.429 It didn’t work the first time. 0:19:34.429,0:19:35.429 They put me in the hospital. 0:19:35.429,0:19:39.480 I remember them putting.. sticking things[br]on me, tranquilizing me again. 0:19:39.480,0:19:47.830 And then I just remember flashes of like..[br]being in the hospital bed and waking up and 0:19:47.830,0:19:51.580 seeing people trying to feed me and then you know.. like waking up in the bathroom and 0:19:51.580,0:19:56.159 then waking up like I lost some time then I lost a few days. 0:19:56.159,0:19:59.799 I had no voice because I lost all my voice[br]from all the screaming. 0:19:59.799,0:20:04.609 So yeah.. and then it took me a while to.. 0:20:04.609,0:20:10.080 I don’t know how much they tranquilize me[br]or what they gave me, but I lost some days. 0:20:10.080,0:20:14.180 And then yeah.. then I spent one week in the hospital 0:20:15.620,0:20:18.880 and.. with no voice and the nurses 0:20:18.889,0:20:21.820 there were very, very, very good. 0:20:21.820,0:20:26.320 And they were trying to make it as normal[br]as possible for me 0:20:26.320,0:20:31.100 like not, not to treat me like a mental patient you know.. 0:20:31.100,0:20:32.299 because I’m not a mental patient. 0:20:32.299,0:20:36.570 I told them what I went through with my very weak whisper, I could.. 0:20:36.570,0:20:44.760 I could talk to them and tell them like what[br]happened to me and they were really good and 0:20:44.760,0:20:48.980 they tried to make me feel normal. 0:20:48.980,0:20:53.860 And anyway so after one week in the house[br]and then one week in the hospital, 0:20:53.860,0:20:59.360 they put me back in prison again. 0:20:59.360,0:21:03.460 So in total I spent three years and four months in prison. 0:21:03.560,0:21:08.500 And I didn’t know how long I’ll be in there for. 0:21:08.500,0:21:14.480 They just told me you know your father said[br]we’ll beat you until we kill you and that’s it. 0:21:14.480,0:21:20.820 And yeah, they didn’t manage to kill me. 0:21:20.840,0:21:24.340 They wanted to but they didn't manage to. 0:21:24.340,0:21:31.440 So when I got out, the second time when I[br]got out of prison, I.. 0:21:31.440,0:21:34.779 I of course I.. 0:21:34.779,0:21:36.869 I just.. 0:21:36.869,0:21:38.019 I hated everyone. 0:21:38.019,0:21:39.980 I didn’t trust any people at all.. 0:21:39.980,0:21:41.764 like for me all people were bad, 0:21:41.764,0:21:43.640 all people were not to be trusted, 0:21:43.640,0:21:45.360 all people they were just against you, 0:21:45.360,0:21:47.700 you know, that’s how I felt. 0:21:47.700,0:21:50.460 So I spent a lot of time with animals 0:21:50.460,0:21:54.100 with the horses, with the dogs, with cats, with birds 0:21:54.100,0:21:56.019 with just different kinds of animals. 0:21:56.019,0:21:58.300 I would spend my days with animals 0:21:58.300,0:22:02.100 and then I would go to my room and watch movies or something, 0:22:02.100,0:22:04.520 but I wouldn’t interact with people. 0:22:04.520,0:22:06.780 I didn’t have anyone I trusted. 0:22:09.180,0:22:17.780 And then I.. yeah, so it was.. it.. it took me.. 0:22:17.780,0:22:18.700 I don’t know.. 0:22:18.700,0:22:22.620 I don’t know how many years coming out of[br]prison to fully 0:22:22.620,0:22:26.140 fully recover from that experience. 0:22:30.620,0:22:31.440 I don’t know. 0:22:31.440,0:22:33.179 I don’t know when started to be more normal. 0:22:33.179,0:22:34.580 I don’t know if I’m normal now. 0:22:34.580,0:22:36.360 I mean it’s something that 0:22:36.360,0:22:37.860 that really changes you, you know, 0:22:37.860,0:22:41.160 makes you lose trust in people. 0:22:41.160,0:22:45.280 The summer of 2017 is when a lot of things changed, 0:22:45.280,0:22:48.000 that kind of pushed me to.. 0:22:49.140,0:22:55.220 Go..like I can’t wait any longer for Shamsa[br]to get better, so I can take her with me. 0:22:55.220,0:23:00.739 I realized you know this took me almost ten[br]years to realize 0:23:00.739,0:23:04.899 that me being here is not helping her at all. 0:23:04.899,0:23:05.929 I can’t help her here. 0:23:05.929,0:23:06.929 I need to leave. 0:23:06.929,0:23:09.619 And that’s the only way I can help her. 0:23:09.619,0:23:10.879 That ’s only I can help myself. 0:23:10.880,0:23:11.600 I can help her. 0:23:11.600,0:23:14.760 I can help a lot

0:23:25.560,0:23:31.009 and it made me see how life is so.. so short. 0:23:31.009,0:23:32.990 You know. There’s no guarantee. 0:23:32.990,0:23:38.960 It’s just, just.. there is no reason to keep waiting for somebody to make a change 0:23:38.960,0:23:39.970 or somebody to be ready. 0:23:39.970,0:23:43.590 There’s no reason to keep waiting just go,[br]you know.. just make the big step go. 0:23:43.590,0:23:48.280 Shamsa will be fine without you and once you’re gone you can help her. 0:23:48.280,0:23:51.980 So I need to make this video. 0:23:51.980,0:23:55.340 In case I don’t make it. 0:23:55.340,0:24:03.260 It’s not gonna be in vain, somebody will[br]have some footage. 0:24:03.260,0:24:04.440 I have to.. 0:24:04.440,0:24:07.740 I have to remember to say everything because[br]this could be last video I make. 0:24:07.740,0:24:10.139 I don’t know what else to say. 0:24:10.140,0:24:13.429 I don’t know what else to say. 0:24:15.300,0:24:21.700 They will for sure will try to discredit this[br]video and say it’s a lie or it’s an actress 0:24:21.700,0:24:24.260 or something for sure. 0:24:26.420,0:24:28.760 I don’t know what else to says about me. 0:24:28.860,0:24:32.280 I’ll just say more information about me. 0:24:32.289,0:24:35.480 I went to Dubai English Speaking School when I was a kid 0:24:35.480,0:24:38.480 and then I went to International School of Choueifat 0:24:38.480,0:24:41.920 and then for one year I went to the Latifa School for Girls. 0:24:41.920,0:24:45.739 And then yeah when I got out of prison, I[br]was horse riding, inside Zabeel stables. 0:24:45.739,0:24:51.460 And then I was scuba diving in Fujairah and[br]then I started skydiving at Skydive Dubai. 0:24:51.460,0:24:56.570 So there’s a lot of people who can.. who know me. 0:24:56.570,0:24:58.260 They know my face. They know how I talk. 0:24:58.260,0:24:59.040 They know me. 0:24:59.260,0:25:02.260 So even if they try to discredit me, I hope 0:25:02.260,0:25:04.679 some of my friends along the way would say 0:25:04.679,0:25:07.760 ʻI know the Latifa and that’s really herʼ and you know 0:25:07.760,0:25:11.169 Anyway I look like my sister Maitha. 0:25:11.169,0:25:15.049 I look like my brother Majid and they’re[br]both famous figures. 0:25:15.049,0:25:20.040 So even if they try to discredit me, I look[br]like my siblings. 0:25:20.040,0:25:21.480 So.. 0:25:21.640,0:25:27.160 And I’ve also given copies of my passport[br]and my certificates and all of that stuff, 0:25:27.169,0:25:28.350 which by the way.. 0:25:28.350,0:25:32.249 I don’t have possession of my passport,[br]they won’t give me my passport. 0:25:32.249,0:25:35.090 My UAE passport is never in my possession. 0:25:35.090,0:25:38.060 I just got a photocopy of it when I did my.. 0:25:39.100,0:25:40.440 oh my.. 0:25:41.080,0:25:44.399 when I got when I did my GCSE exams 0:25:44.399,0:25:47.639 after I left prison, I did some exams and[br]they required passport copies. 0:25:47.639,0:25:50.720 I took a picture of my passport then 0:25:50.720,0:25:56.000 and also when I did my tandem rating for skydiving, 0:25:57.860,0:26:01.380 the FAI? I think that’s what it’s called..[br]they require some medical clearance 0:26:01.380,0:26:03.580 and which requires a copy of your passport, 0:26:03.580,0:26:05.460 so I managed to copy.. the copy of my passport. 0:26:05.460,0:26:10.060 They wouldn’t even give me my passport,[br]but they gave me a copy of my passport. 0:26:10.060,0:26:11.700 So I’m not allowed to drive. 0:26:11.710,0:26:15.129 I’m not allowed to travel or leave Dubai at all. 0:26:15.129,0:26:17.680 I can’t. I haven’t left the country since 2000. 0:26:18.960,0:26:23.440 I’ve been asking a lot just to go traveling[br]to study to do anything normal. 0:26:23.440,0:26:25.859 They don’t let me. 0:26:25.859,0:26:26.860 I have to.. 0:26:26.860,0:26:28.669 I have a curfew when I go out and I come back home.. 0:26:28.669,0:26:30.880 I have to be back at a certain time. 0:26:30.880,0:26:35.220 They.. my mom she always like she needs to know exactly where I am. 0:26:35.229,0:26:39.929 The drivers report back to my father’s office where I go etcetera, etcetera. 0:26:39.929,0:26:41.840 We have assigned drivers. 0:26:41.840,0:26:43.739 We’re not allowed to get into anyone’s[br]car. 0:26:43.739,0:26:44.889 I have to go with the driver. 0:26:44.889,0:26:47.470 The driver has to know exactly where I am. 0:26:47.470,0:26:50.700 Yeah, so that’s my life basically. 0:26:50.700,0:26:51.940 It’s very restricted. 0:26:51.940,0:26:52.940 I can’t.. 0:26:52.940,0:26:55.280 I can’t even go to another Emirate without[br]permission. 0:26:55.280,0:26:56.260 I can’t. 0:26:56.260,0:26:58.780 So I have to be in Dubai. 0:27:01.160,0:27:02.080 Yeah. 0:27:02.120,0:27:04.040 So, yeah, even if they try to discredit me, 0:27:04.040,0:27:10.540 I have a lot of data that they can’t discredit me. 0:27:10.549,0:27:17.840 Well, they will try and then they will be discredited. 0:27:17.840,0:27:20.460 So, yeah, this is going to be my last video. 0:27:20.540,0:27:21.640 I hope it isn’t.. 0:27:21.640,0:27:23.620 I hope I never use this video. 0:27:24.300,0:27:30.740 I hope this video just gets deleted and we’re all okay 0:27:33.000,0:27:34.880 but this video needed to be made. 0:27:36.540,0:27:39.080 I don’t know what else I need to say. 0:27:42.100,0:27:45.760 So what I’m hoping for after I leave is 0:27:47.100,0:27:47.860 that 0:27:49.420,0:27:51.240 I get my passport 0:27:52.040,0:27:54.760 and I have freedom of choice in my life 0:27:54.760,0:27:58.600 and I can help Shamsa from wherever I am. 0:27:58.600,0:28:02.340 I can say give her her passport. 0:28:02.340,0:28:03.300 Let her travel. 0:28:03.300,0:28:04.680 Let her see me. 0:28:04.680,0:28:05.420 And 0:28:06.600,0:28:10.200 I think that’s the only way to help anyone including myself. 0:28:14.580,0:28:16.599 I don’t know what else to say. 0:28:16.600,0:28:20.500 I can talk about a lot of things that I’ve[br]seen in my life. 0:28:23.240,0:28:31.840 When..when I was six months old, my father’s sister wanted me. 0:28:32.480,0:28:34.400 So she took me away from my mom. 0:28:36.580,0:28:39.560 So I lived for the first ten years of my life[br]in the palace 0:28:39.560,0:28:42.000 believing that my aunt was in fact my mother 0:28:42.000,0:28:45.409 and I would visit my real mother only once a year. 0:28:45.409,0:28:46.570 I would never sleep there. 0:28:46.570,0:28:49.080 I’d just spend the day and go to the palace at night. 0:28:50.980,0:28:54.080 And when my younger brother was three months old, 0:28:54.080,0:28:57.500 my mom also gave him. 0:28:58.860,0:29:02.940 Well, she.. she that one was more voluntary[br]because she didn’t want me to be alone, 0:29:02.940,0:29:07.140 so she gave my brother to me, so that we’re[br]both together. 0:29:08.240,0:29:10.940 So yeah for the first ten years of my life[br]I was living a lie 0:29:10.940,0:29:14.160 then I discovered who I was and then I went to live with my mom 0:29:14.160,0:29:15.419 and I was fighting to go live with my mom and 0:29:15.419,0:29:19.759 Shamsa was fighting for us to go and live with her. 0:29:19.760,0:29:22.880 So I always saw Shamsa as this person who rescued me. 0:29:24.120,0:29:26.860 So I was trying really hard to rescue her, so.. 0:29:26.860,0:29:30.320 But so far I haven’t been successful. 0:29:34.240,0:29:36.660 I know what else they’ll probably do. 0:29:36.669,0:29:43.799 They’ll probably tell Shamsa to make some[br]video talking about how I’m a liar or try 0:29:43.799,0:29:45.580 to discredit me or something like that. 0:29:45.580,0:29:47.620 For sure they will try to do that.. 0:29:47.620,0:29:48.960 knowing them. 0:29:48.960,0:29:50.099 Of course, she will. 0:29:50.099,0:29:51.450 She has no freedom. 0:29:51.450,0:29:52.840 She can’t do anything you know. 0:29:52.840,0:29:56.760 She’s.. right now she’s.. 0:29:56.760,0:29:58.460 she has a psychiatrist with her 0:29:58.460,0:30:00.660 and she’s surrounded by nurses. 0:30:01.560,0:30:03.760 They’re in her room when she sleeps. 0:30:03.760,0:30:05.780 They take notes of when she wakes up, 0:30:05.780,0:30:08.379 when she sleeps, when she eats, what she eats, 0:30:08.379,0:30:10.140 what she says, the conversation she says, 0:30:10.140,0:30:11.620 they watch her, take her pills, 0:30:11.620,0:30:13.560 they make sure that she takes all of her pills, 0:30:14.360,0:30:16.220 these..these drugs to control her mind, 0:30:16.280,0:30:17.400 I don’t know what they are. 0:30:18.120,0:30:20.920 And so her life is totally controlled. 0:30:20.929,0:30:23.800 Oh yeah in the summer also what happened, which 0:30:23.800,0:30:26.260 I should have said is, 0:30:28.660,0:30:32.780 Shamsa was discovered with a few mobile phones.
