Video statement of Sheikha Latifa Bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (II)

  • 0:00 - 0:02
    Hello.
  • 0:02 - 0:03
    My name is Latifa Al Maktoum.
  • 0:03 - 0:08
    I was born on December 5, 1985.
  • 0:08 - 0:11
    My mom is Huriah Ahmed ??Lamarra??
  • 0:11 - 0:12
    She is from Algeria.
  • 0:12 - 0:16
    My father is Prime Minister of UAE
  • 0:16 - 0:17
    and the ruler of Dubai,
  • 0:17 - 0:20
    Mohammed bin Rashid Saeed Al Maktoum.
  • 0:20 - 0:22
    He has three daughters called Latifa.
  • 0:22 - 0:23
    I’m the middle one.
  • 0:23 - 0:27
    There is one older than me and one younger than me.
  • 0:27 - 0:31
    And he has two daughters called Mariam also.
  • 0:31 - 0:35
    I have thirty brothers and sisters total.
  • 0:35 - 0:37
    I had to say that
  • 0:37 - 0:41
    in case this video is discredited in any way that
  • 0:41 - 0:43
    ‘no you know there is a Latifa there and a Latifa there’
  • 0:43 - 0:46
    yeah there's three Latifas, I’m one of them.
  • 0:46 - 0:47
    I’m the middle Latifa.
  • 0:48 - 0:50
    My full sisters are Maitha and Shamsa.
  • 0:50 - 0:52
    They’re both older than me
  • 0:52 - 0:54
    and Majid he’s younger than me.
  • 0:55 - 1:01
    And I’m making this video because it could
    be the last video I make
  • 1:01 - 1:02
    Yeah
  • 1:05 - 1:12
    Pretty soon I’m going to be leaving somehow
  • 1:12 - 1:17
    and I’m not so sure of the outcome, but
  • 1:17 - 1:23
    I’m ninety-nine percent positive it will work.
  • 1:23 - 1:26
    And if it doesn’t then this video can help
    me
  • 1:26 - 1:30
    because all my father cares about is his reputation.
  • 1:30 - 1:33
    He will kill people to protect his own reputation.
  • 1:33 - 1:39
    He.. he only cares about himself and his ego.
  • 1:39 - 1:44
    So this video could save my life.
  • 1:44 - 1:49
    And if you are watching this video it’s
    not such a good thing.
  • 1:49 - 1:54
    Either I’m dead or I’m in a very, very,
    very bad situation.
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    So where do I begin?
  • 1:58 - 1:59
    In 2000
  • 1:59 - 2:03
    my sister Shamsa while she was on holiday in England,
  • 2:03 - 2:07
    she was 18 years old going on nineteen.
  • 2:07 - 2:08
    She ran away.
  • 2:08 - 2:14
    And in the two months that she was free
  • 2:14 - 2:18
    we were in contact and I was still in Dubai
  • 2:18 - 2:20
    with my mom and my other sister.
  • 2:20 - 2:23
    Where she had traveled with her step-mom and..
  • 2:23 - 2:25
    and all of them.
  • 2:26 - 2:30
    So while she escaped because she didn’t
    have much freedom in Dubai.
  • 2:30 - 2:36
    She didn’t have freedom to do the things
    like you know anybody in a civilized world
  • 2:36 - 2:42
    would take for granted like driving a car
    or traveling or you know just making choices
  • 2:42 - 2:44
    for your own future.
  • 2:44 - 2:48
    Freedom of choice is not something that you know, we have.
  • 2:48 - 2:53
    So when you have it, you take it for granted
    and if you don’t have it, it’s very very special.
  • 2:53 - 2:58
    So yeah, she ran away and the whole time she
    was communicating with me.
  • 2:58 - 3:00
    I was fourteen years old at that time.
  • 3:00 - 3:03
    And yeah, Shamsa was..
  • 3:03 - 3:05
    I saw her almost as a mother figure.
  • 3:05 - 3:07
    Yeah, she’s my big sister.
  • 3:07 - 3:10
    She’s like a mother also to me because she
    really cared about me.
  • 3:10 - 3:12
    I would speak to her every single day.
  • 3:12 - 3:15
    So yeah when she left, it was a little bit
    hard
  • 3:15 - 3:18
    I was happy for her but at the same time I was worried about her.
  • 3:18 - 3:20
    And what she did was,
  • 3:20 - 3:24
    she also contacted one of her friends in Dubai
  • 3:24 - 3:26
    whose name is Leila ??Harab??
  • 3:27 - 3:30
    and she kept calling Leila.
  • 3:30 - 3:33
    And what my father has done is he went to
    Leila’s house
  • 3:33 - 3:36
    and he tried to bribe her with a Rolex
  • 3:36 - 3:39
    and he said we need to tap your phone
  • 3:39 - 3:44
    to track Shamsa to see where she is.
  • 3:44 - 3:46
    So that’s what they did.
  • 3:46 - 3:48
    And Leila told Shamsa, she told her
  • 3:48 - 3:50
    ‘My phone is bugged.’
  • 3:50 - 3:51
    ‘They’re trying to find you be careful’
  • 3:51 - 3:54
    And Shamsa told me that and I told her,
  • 3:54 - 3:58
    stop calling Leila because if you'll call her they’re going to find you.
  • 3:58 - 4:01
    I think she was very lonely in the UK by herself.
  • 4:01 - 4:05
    She had nobody else to talk to so she talked
    to us and she kept talking to Leila.
  • 4:05 - 4:09
    So yeah after two months, they found her.
  • 4:09 - 4:12
    Basically, she was on the streets
  • 4:12 - 4:16
    and a bunch of guys in a car just drove up
  • 4:16 - 4:21
    they found her, they grabbed her, kicking and screaming threw her in the car
  • 4:21 - 4:23
    and she was driven somewhere
  • 4:23 - 4:26
    by a helicopter.. she was driven to a helicopter somehow
  • 4:26 - 4:30
    ended up in France and from France she came to Dubai.
  • 4:30 - 4:34
    She was drugged on the plane.
  • 4:34 - 4:37
    It was a private jet, so nobody was checking anything.
  • 4:37 - 4:39
    She was drugged, brought back to Dubai
  • 4:39 - 4:42
    and basically put in this building.
  • 4:43 - 4:47
    It’s the building, it’s called Kheima,
    which means ‘Tent’ in Arabic.
  • 4:47 - 4:49
    But it’s not a tent, it’s just called ‘The Tent’
  • 4:49 - 4:50
    and
  • 4:51 - 4:53
    And it’s on.. it’s in Zabeel Palace
  • 4:53 - 4:57
    the property of my step-mom Hind.
  • 4:57 - 4:59
    And she was kept there and locked there.
  • 4:59 - 5:01
    And during that time,
  • 5:01 - 5:05
    we could send her some things like clothes or whatever.
  • 5:05 - 5:09
    So, we snuck in a telephone for her.
  • 5:09 - 5:13
    ‘We’ meaning me and my adopted sister Mona
  • 5:13 - 5:15
    Mona ??Al Lamara??
  • 5:15 - 5:19
    We were in contact with her and
  • 5:19 - 5:21
    we snuck in a telephone, so we could talk to her.
  • 5:21 - 5:23
    So while she was inside,
  • 5:23 - 5:26
    she contacted some journalists in the UK
  • 5:26 - 5:29
    and they released the story to The Guardian.
  • 5:29 - 5:34
    I think it was around May 2001 when the story came out, I’m not really sure.
  • 5:34 - 5:35
    The stories..
  • 5:35 - 5:38
    Google ‘Shamsa Al Maktoum’ and it’s
    the first thing that come up.
  • 5:38 - 5:41
    Her, her escape and all of that.
  • 5:41 - 5:46
    So when the story came out, I think they realized
    that somehow she’s in a communication or
  • 5:46 - 5:47
    somebody was helping her or whatever.
  • 5:47 - 5:53
    So the police went and they took Mona from her University
  • 5:53 - 5:56
    and they questioned and tortured her
  • 5:56 - 6:00
    And my sister Maitha came to my room
  • 6:00 - 6:03
    in the evening the same day, and she said
  • 6:03 - 6:07
    ‘Mona was taken by the police and they’re questioning her
  • 6:07 - 6:09
    and beating her up basically
  • 6:09 - 6:11
    what do you know about Shamsa?’
  • 6:11 - 6:13
    And Maitha was kind of acting like the interrogator.
  • 6:13 - 6:14
    You know like..
  • 6:14 - 6:17
    I’m gonna interrogate you to get information from you.
  • 6:17 - 6:18
    I said I don’t know anything.
  • 6:18 - 6:21
    And.. so anyway
  • 6:21 - 6:26
    I went and I told my other adopted sister Fatima
  • 6:26 - 6:28
    Fatima ??Lamara??
  • 6:28 - 6:33
    Who by the way was kept in a cabin in our house.
  • 6:33 - 6:33
    She was kept..
  • 6:33 - 6:36
    It’s another story.
  • 6:37 - 6:42
    She’s kept in a cabin on our property, but locked up.
  • 6:42 - 6:46
    Separated from the rest of the family because she’s naughty.
  • 6:46 - 6:48
    Her naughty behavior.
  • 6:48 - 6:50
    She's..She’s rebellious.
  • 6:50 - 6:53
    So she’s basically kept in a cage in our house.
  • 6:55 - 7:00
    And anyway.. I.. I wrote a note for her and
  • 7:00 - 7:04
    I told our housemaid to give it to her
  • 7:04 - 7:06
    to slide it under her door and she did.
  • 7:06 - 7:09
    And I told her you know Mona has been taken and she’s being questioned by the police
  • 7:09 - 7:10
    and everything.
  • 7:10 - 7:16
    And then Fatima just went crazy, she just
    like broke down the window.. she.. she..
  • 7:16 - 7:17
    and the door.
  • 7:17 - 7:20
    She threw this.. the metal thing outside the window.
  • 7:20 - 7:21
    She broke it.
  • 7:21 - 7:22
    She got out.
  • 7:22 - 7:23
    She took a knife.
  • 7:23 - 7:29
    She was threatening Ali, who is a.. like he is a chef..
  • 7:29 - 7:31
    but he is also like.. the brother-in-law
  • 7:31 - 7:33
    of my father’s right-hand man.
  • 7:33 - 7:36
    So he was kind of like in charge of the staff
    or whatever.
  • 7:36 - 7:37
    So she took a knife and she was threatening him like
  • 7:37 - 7:39
    ʻI want to see Mona, I want to see Monaʼ
  • 7:39 - 7:40
    So they took Fatima.
  • 7:40 - 7:42
    They put her in prison and they tortured her also.
  • 7:42 - 7:44
    And then they realized that she knew nothing.
  • 7:44 - 7:50
    We didn’t tell her because we couldn’t tell her that we were in contact with Shamsa.
  • 7:50 - 7:54
    Anyway what happened after that, yeah so that day I kind of lost everyone.
  • 7:55 - 7:59
    All my friends, all my.. my sisters everything.
  • 7:59 - 8:01
    I lost everyone that day.
  • 8:01 - 8:03
    It was.. it was very hard day for me.
  • 8:03 - 8:07
    And of course I lost my communication with Shamsa.
  • 8:08 - 8:11
    So approximately a year later
  • 8:11 - 8:16
    as a 16 year old I decided that I’m gonna escape.
  • 8:16 - 8:19
    Back then I didn’t have the Internet.
  • 8:19 - 8:21
    I didn’t have..
  • 8:21 - 8:24
    I was very.. it was 2002.
  • 8:24 - 8:27
    Internet existed but I didn’t have it, they
    wouldn’t allow me to have Internet.
  • 8:27 - 8:28
    I didn’t have Internet.
  • 8:28 - 8:29
    I didn’t have phone.
  • 8:29 - 8:33
    The only phone I had was given to me by my friend
  • 8:33 - 8:36
    so it wasn’t approved by my family or anything.
  • 8:36 - 8:39
    So I decided I’m gonna escape.
  • 8:39 - 8:42
    I’m gonna go, I’m gonna leave UAE.
  • 8:42 - 8:45
    I’m gonna find a lawyer in another country.
  • 8:45 - 8:46
    Like I’m gonna go to Oman.
  • 8:46 - 8:50
    I’m gonna just go there and I’m gonna find a lawyer or something
  • 8:50 - 8:51
    and I’m gonna help Shamsa.
  • 8:51 - 8:52
    In the worst case scenario if they catch me,
    they’re gonna put me with her.
  • 8:52 - 8:56
    I’m gonna be in prison with her, so at least
    I can see her and I’m happy and she knows
  • 8:56 - 8:59
    that she has somebody with her and she’s
    not gonna do anything crazy.
  • 8:59 - 9:00
    She’s not gonna hurt herself.
  • 9:00 - 9:02
    She has her sister with her, so she’s not gonna do anything.
  • 9:02 - 9:02
    You know..
  • 9:02 - 9:06
    So I was thinking either I get her help or
    I get to put in prison with her.
  • 9:06 - 9:09
    So in 2002 I escaped.
  • 9:10 - 9:12
    And they caught me at the border.
  • 9:12 - 9:14
    And yeah like..
  • 9:14 - 9:18
    I was very, very naive I thought you could just go.
  • 9:18 - 9:21
    I thought you can just.. there’s like a
    border and then there’s like sand or what..
  • 9:21 - 9:23
    I didn’t realize what the border looks like.
  • 9:23 - 9:24
    I’ve never been to a border in my life.
  • 9:24 - 9:26
    I didn’t have Internet to research it.
  • 9:26 - 9:28
    I didn’t have anyone to talk to, to give me advice.
  • 9:28 - 9:29
    I couldn’t..
  • 9:29 - 9:31
    I was totally by myself.
  • 9:31 - 9:32
    I had no one.
  • 9:32 - 9:38
    Nobody even knew what.. like I mean.. people..my friends around me in school like
  • 9:38 - 9:40
    they didn’t know what I was going through.
  • 9:40 - 9:43
    I couldn’t talk to anybody about it.
  • 9:44 - 9:51
    So yeah.. and I wasn’t allowed out.
  • 9:51 - 9:55
    I wasn’t allowed to go outside.. like I was going to school.
  • 9:55 - 9:58
    I would sometimes go to the family’s stables to horse ride
  • 9:58 - 10:02
    and apart from that I didn’t do anything else and then I went home.
  • 10:02 - 10:04
    So I did I didn’t have..
  • 10:04 - 10:06
    I was..
  • 10:06 - 10:07
    I didn’t know anything.
  • 10:07 - 10:12
    So, yeah, I they caught me at the border basically and then they found out who I was.
  • 10:12 - 10:20
    They brought me back to Dubai and my father’s right-hand man put me in prison
  • 10:20 - 10:26
    under my father’s orders and then his all his CID guys, they..
  • 10:28 - 10:31
    yeah, they.. they put me in person and they tortured me.
  • 10:35 - 10:40
    Basically, one guy was holding me, while the other guy was beating me..
  • 10:40 - 10:43
    and they did that repeatedly.
  • 10:43 - 10:47
    I think the first time they tortured me, I didn’t feel any pain
  • 10:47 - 10:48
    because I was in so much shock.
  • 10:48 - 10:49
    I didn’t..
  • 10:49 - 10:51
    It was like somebody was hitting me through a pillow or something.
  • 10:51 - 10:54
    I could see what they were doing, but I just..
  • 10:54 - 10:57
    I was like, are they just destroying my body?
  • 10:57 - 10:59
    What’s going on?
  • 10:59 - 11:02
    I didn’t.. didn’t even.. the pain didn’t
    register because I think I was in so much
  • 11:02 - 11:10
    shock and it was a long day with little sleep
    and I just.. the pain didn’t..
  • 11:10 - 11:11
    I didn’t..
  • 11:11 - 11:14
    I didn’t feel the pain and it was like a
    half hour torture session.
  • 11:14 - 11:16
    And then the next times I was tortured, it
    was
  • 11:16 - 11:23
    for five hours and yeah I was just pulled from the bed
  • 11:23 - 11:28
    driven to another location in the palace
  • 11:28 - 11:30
    in the same building,
  • 11:30 - 11:34
    The Kheima, the tent, which is not a tent.
  • 11:34 - 11:37
    And yeah, they tortured me.
  • 11:37 - 11:40
    I knew how long it was, because I had a watch
  • 11:40 - 11:45
    and they told me that your father told us
  • 11:45 - 11:47
    to beat you until we kill you.
  • 11:47 - 11:51
    That’s his orders, your father’s orders.
  • 11:51 - 11:56
    Your father, the Ruler of Dubai, that’s what he said.
  • 11:56 - 12:00
    So all of this public image that he’s trying to portray human rights
  • 12:00 - 12:02
    Its bullshit.
  • 12:02 - 12:05
    He’s the most evil person I’ve ever met in my life.
  • 12:05 - 12:07
    He’s pure evil.
  • 12:07 - 12:09
    There’s nothing good in him.
  • 12:09 - 12:12
    He’s responsible for so many people’s deaths
  • 12:12 - 12:15
    and ruining so many people’s lives.
  • 12:21 - 12:22
    He doesn’t care about anyone.
  • 12:22 - 12:25
    He only cares about his image, his reputation,
  • 12:25 - 12:30
    and he will gladly kill somebody,
  • 12:30 - 12:31
    but he doesn’t do it himself.
  • 12:31 - 12:37
    He just.. he.. he doesn’t do the dirty work himself.
  • 12:37 - 12:39
    He’ll just get other people to do it.
  • 12:39 - 12:41
    He doesn’t care.
  • 12:43 - 12:47
    After my uncle died, he killed one of his wives
  • 12:47 - 12:49
    he killed.. he killed her
  • 12:49 - 12:52
    everyone knows about it, the Moroccan one.
  • 12:52 - 12:54
    Because she was too..
  • 12:54 - 12:56
    her behavior was too outrageous.
  • 12:56 - 12:57
    She was too..
  • 12:57 - 12:58
    I think..I think she just talked too much
  • 12:58 - 13:00
    and he felt threatened by her.
  • 13:00 - 13:02
    So he just killed her.
  • 13:02 - 13:04
    Of course, he couldn’t do that when my uncle was alive,
  • 13:04 - 13:06
    but he could do that after my uncle died.
  • 13:06 - 13:12
    Everybody knows what kind of person he is.
  • 13:12 - 13:15
    So in total I was imprisoned for three years and four months.
  • 13:15 - 13:21
    I went in June 2002 and I came out October 2005.
  • 13:21 - 13:23
    I don’t know.. do the math.
  • 13:23 - 13:29
    But in 2003 for a week I came out of prison.
  • 13:29 - 13:31
    They put me back home,
  • 13:31 - 13:33
    home, it’s not a home.
  • 13:33 - 13:35
    It’s my house, my mom’s house.
  • 13:35 - 13:38
    They put me back there for a week
  • 13:38 - 13:41
    and it was surreal.
  • 13:43 - 13:45
    When I went home to see my mom
  • 13:45 - 13:49
    I expected some sympathy?
  • 13:49 - 13:50
    Maybe?
  • 13:50 - 13:55
    Since prison was not a normal prison experience
  • 13:55 - 13:59
    it was constant torture, constant torture.
  • 13:59 - 14:02
    Even when they weren’t physically beating
    me up
  • 14:02 - 14:03
    they would torture me.
  • 14:03 - 14:05
    They would switch off all the lights.
  • 14:05 - 14:08
    I was in solitary confinement by myself totally
  • 14:08 - 14:10
    and there’s no windows, there’s no light,
  • 14:10 - 14:12
    so when they switched off the light, it was pitch black.
  • 14:12 - 14:14
    They could switch it off for days, so I didn’t
    know
  • 14:14 - 14:17
    when one day ended then the next began
  • 14:17 - 14:19
    and then they would..
  • 14:19 - 14:21
    they would make sounds to harass me and
  • 14:21 - 14:23
    then they would come in the middle of the night
  • 14:23 - 14:25
    pull me out of bed to beat me
  • 14:25 - 14:28
    and it wasn’t..
  • 14:28 - 14:31
    it wasn’t a normal prison experience by any means.
  • 14:31 - 14:33
    It was just torture.
  • 14:33 - 14:34
    And they didn’t give me anything.
  • 14:34 - 14:36
    I didn’t have a change of clothes.
  • 14:36 - 14:39
    So I wore the same clothes and I would try
    to stay as clean as possible,
  • 14:39 - 14:42
    but you know after the torture sessions I couldn’t even walk.
  • 14:42 - 14:46
    So I would crawl to the bathroom to get water, to open a tap.. to get some water.
  • 14:46 - 14:47
    I would just crawl on my hands and knees.
  • 14:47 - 14:49
    There was no medical help at all.
  • 14:49 - 14:50
    They didn’t care.
  • 14:50 - 14:52
    They wanted me dead anyway.
  • 14:52 - 14:56
    And yeah, so I didn’t have anything.
  • 14:56 - 15:01
    I had a thin mattress that had holes in it
    and had stains of blood and shit
  • 15:01 - 15:03
    and it was disgusting, smelled so bad.
  • 15:03 - 15:07
    I had a thin blanket also was so disgusting.
  • 15:07 - 15:09
    And I had the clothes I was wearing.
  • 15:09 - 15:13
    And then I think in the last few months, they
    gave me a toothbrush, just one toothbrush,
  • 15:13 - 15:14
    you know.
  • 15:14 - 15:16
    So I didn’t..
  • 15:16 - 15:21
    I didn’t.. it was so hard to stay clean
    and towards the end they gave me some clothes,
  • 15:21 - 15:24
    clothes washing.. like Tide, you know, the
    clothes washing powder.
  • 15:24 - 15:30
    So I would use the clothes washing powder
    on my skin to try to stay clean you know.
  • 15:30 - 15:31
    It was really disgusting.
  • 15:31 - 15:37
    So, yeah.. so after that experience, I went
    to the house for one week and it was..
  • 15:37 - 15:44
    from that to a house with soap and clothes and this and that and it was like a shock to me.
  • 15:44 - 15:47
    So I would shower like five times a day because I could.
  • 15:47 - 15:49
    There was warm water.
  • 15:49 - 15:50
    There was.. there was soap.
  • 15:50 - 15:51
    There was a towel.
  • 15:51 - 15:52
    There was clothes.
  • 15:52 - 15:53
    I couldn’t believe it.
  • 15:53 - 15:54
    There’s toothbrush.
  • 15:54 - 15:56
    There was food like.. like proper food,
  • 15:56 - 15:57
    not food in like little container
  • 15:57 - 15:59
    meat and rice, meat and rice.
  • 15:59 - 16:01
    It wasn’t like these little container boxes you know.
  • 16:01 - 16:02
    It was food that I can..
  • 16:02 - 16:05
    I can eat fresh food.
  • 16:05 - 16:08
    I was very, very anemic when I came out.
  • 16:08 - 16:10
    I had lost so much weight.
  • 16:10 - 16:14
    All of my clothes were hanging off me and
    I couldn’t..
  • 16:14 - 16:18
    I needed to get new clothes.
  • 16:18 - 16:20
    And everything was just a shock to me.
  • 16:20 - 16:24
    So I remember, very weird, but
  • 16:24 - 16:26
    I remember when I came out to the prison for the first time
  • 16:26 - 16:30
    even in the car, I remember the car felt
    like it was going so fast because
  • 16:30 - 16:34
    I had not moved for one year and one month.
  • 16:34 - 16:37
    So the car felt like I was in a roller-coaster.
  • 16:37 - 16:41
    I was like wow, this is just going so fast.
  • 16:41 - 16:44
    And when I went home having all these people talking normally to me.
  • 16:44 - 16:46
    Normal? Normal after what I’ve been through?
  • 16:46 - 16:49
    I don’t know what normal is anymore you
    know, like nothing is normal.
  • 16:49 - 16:55
    Every time..I mean even now..
  • 16:55 - 16:59
    I am.. if I hear a noise I just wake up and
  • 16:59 - 17:02
    I remember for a few years after I came out of prison
  • 17:02 - 17:04
    whenever I could hear a noise outside the door
  • 17:04 - 17:06
    I would just jump up out of bed,
  • 17:06 - 17:08
    you know, I would just jump.
  • 17:08 - 17:11
    I wouldn’t..and I would stand on my feet because I’m ready you know..
  • 17:11 - 17:14
    I’m ready for anything.
  • 17:15 - 17:17
    Yeah.
  • 17:18 - 17:25
    So yeah.. that wasn’t a good time.
  • 17:26 - 17:30
    So after a week of being at the house back
    with my mom, my sister
  • 17:30 - 17:34
    and she didn’t show me compassion at all.
  • 17:34 - 17:36
    Actually, what she said to me was
  • 17:36 - 17:38
    ʻYou think your prison experience was bad?ʼ
  • 17:38 - 17:41
    ʻThere’s others that’s so much more worse
    than thatʼ
  • 17:41 - 17:44
    and when that happened I felt
  • 17:45 - 17:48
    really, really disappointed and sad.
  • 17:48 - 17:51
    I really expected some compassion from her like any..
  • 17:51 - 17:53
    as any kind of mother
  • 17:53 - 17:57
    but there was no compassion.
  • 17:58 - 18:01
    I also didn’t get any compassion from my sister, Maitha.
  • 18:01 - 18:05
    She didn’t, but that’s okay...you know
  • 18:07 - 18:09
    They could have helped me if they wanted to..
  • 18:09 - 18:10
    but they didn’t..
  • 18:11 - 18:18
    But at the same time they didn’t put me
    inside, but they could have helped me.
  • 18:18 - 18:20
    They could've visited me if they wanted to.
  • 18:20 - 18:22
    They could've fought for me a little bit more.
  • 18:22 - 18:25
    They could've had some compassion, but they
    kind of looked at me like
  • 18:25 - 18:26
    ‘Oh you did this to yourself’
  • 18:26 - 18:28
    No I didn’t.
  • 18:28 - 18:30
    I didn’t tell Shamsa to run away from England.
  • 18:30 - 18:31
    I didn’t tell her to keep calling Leila.
  • 18:31 - 18:33
    I didn’t tell her to get caught.
  • 18:33 - 18:33
    I didn’t..
  • 18:33 - 18:35
    I didn’t do this to myself.
  • 18:35 - 18:36
    My only thing was..
  • 18:36 - 18:39
    I was trying to defend my sister and trying to help her
  • 18:39 - 18:41
    and that’s what happened to me
  • 18:42 - 18:44
    So back to me being at the house.
  • 18:44 - 18:46
    So I only stayed in the house for one week
  • 18:46 - 18:50
    because after one week I had somewhat of a breakdown
  • 18:50 - 18:53
    I don’t remember how exactly the fight started,
  • 18:53 - 18:56
    but I just kept screaming that I wanted to
  • 18:56 - 18:59
    go see Shamsa and I couldn’t stop screaming.
  • 18:59 - 19:01
    It was like..
  • 19:03 - 19:04
    I can’t explain it.
  • 19:04 - 19:07
    I literally just kept screaming and screaming
    that
  • 19:07 - 19:08
    ‘I want to see Shamsa, I want to see Shamsa’
  • 19:08 - 19:09
    ‘I want to see Shamsa’
  • 19:09 - 19:12
    and that ended up like I was physically
    trying to fight people.
  • 19:12 - 19:15
    So they were holding me and I don’t remember
    who they called.
  • 19:15 - 19:20
    They called the police, but at some point
    there was some men holding me again.
  • 19:20 - 19:23
    And then there was a Doctor.
  • 19:23 - 19:27
    I saw a Doctor and she injected me and they
    took me either in a car or an ambulance,
  • 19:27 - 19:28
    I don’t remember.
  • 19:28 - 19:31
    I think it was a car because I was just screaming.
  • 19:31 - 19:32
    I couldn’t remember.
  • 19:32 - 19:33
    They tried to tranquilize me.
  • 19:33 - 19:34
    It didn’t work the first time.
  • 19:34 - 19:35
    They put me in the hospital.
  • 19:35 - 19:39
    I remember them putting.. sticking things
    on me, tranquilizing me again.
  • 19:39 - 19:48
    And then I just remember flashes of like..
    being in the hospital bed and waking up and
  • 19:48 - 19:52
    seeing people trying to feed me and then you know.. like waking up in the bathroom and
  • 19:52 - 19:56
    then waking up like I lost some time then I lost a few days.
  • 19:56 - 20:00
    I had no voice because I lost all my voice
    from all the screaming.
  • 20:00 - 20:05
    So yeah.. and then it took me a while to..
  • 20:05 - 20:10
    I don’t know how much they tranquilize me
    or what they gave me, but I lost some days.
  • 20:10 - 20:14
    And then yeah.. then I spent one week in the hospital
  • 20:16 - 20:19
    and.. with no voice and the nurses
  • 20:19 - 20:22
    there were very, very, very good.
  • 20:22 - 20:26
    And they were trying to make it as normal
    as possible for me
  • 20:26 - 20:31
    like not, not to treat me like a mental patient you know..
  • 20:31 - 20:32
    because I’m not a mental patient.
  • 20:32 - 20:37
    I told them what I went through with my very weak whisper, I could..
  • 20:37 - 20:45
    I could talk to them and tell them like what
    happened to me and they were really good and
  • 20:45 - 20:49
    they tried to make me feel normal.
  • 20:49 - 20:54
    And anyway so after one week in the house
    and then one week in the hospital,
  • 20:54 - 20:59
    they put me back in prison again.
  • 20:59 - 21:03
    So in total I spent three years and four months in prison.
  • 21:04 - 21:08
    And I didn’t know how long I’ll be in there for.
  • 21:08 - 21:14
    They just told me you know your father said
    we’ll beat you until we kill you and that’s it.
  • 21:14 - 21:21
    And yeah, they didn’t manage to kill me.
  • 21:21 - 21:24
    They wanted to but they didn't manage to.
  • 21:24 - 21:31
    So when I got out, the second time when I
    got out of prison, I..
  • 21:31 - 21:35
    I of course I..
  • 21:35 - 21:37
    I just..
  • 21:37 - 21:38
    I hated everyone.
  • 21:38 - 21:40
    I didn’t trust any people at all..
  • 21:40 - 21:42
    like for me all people were bad,
  • 21:42 - 21:44
    all people were not to be trusted,
  • 21:44 - 21:45
    all people they were just against you,
  • 21:45 - 21:48
    you know, that’s how I felt.
  • 21:48 - 21:50
    So I spent a lot of time with animals
  • 21:50 - 21:54
    with the horses, with the dogs, with cats, with birds
  • 21:54 - 21:56
    with just different kinds of animals.
  • 21:56 - 21:58
    I would spend my days with animals
  • 21:58 - 22:02
    and then I would go to my room and watch movies or something,
  • 22:02 - 22:05
    but I wouldn’t interact with people.
  • 22:05 - 22:07
    I didn’t have anyone I trusted.
  • 22:09 - 22:18
    And then I.. yeah, so it was.. it.. it took me..
  • 22:18 - 22:19
    I don’t know..
  • 22:19 - 22:23
    I don’t know how many years coming out of
    prison to fully
  • 22:23 - 22:26
    fully recover from that experience.
  • 22:31 - 22:31
    I don’t know.
  • 22:31 - 22:33
    I don’t know when started to be more normal.
  • 22:33 - 22:35
    I don’t know if I’m normal now.
  • 22:35 - 22:36
    I mean it’s something that
  • 22:36 - 22:38
    that really changes you, you know,
  • 22:38 - 22:41
    makes you lose trust in people.
  • 22:41 - 22:45
    The summer of 2017 is when a lot of things changed,
  • 22:45 - 22:48
    that kind of pushed me to..
  • 22:49 - 22:55
    Go..like I can’t wait any longer for Shamsa
    to get better, so I can take her with me.
  • 22:55 - 23:01
    I realized you know this took me almost ten
    years to realize
  • 23:01 - 23:05
    that me being here is not helping her at all.
  • 23:05 - 23:06
    I can’t help her here.
  • 23:06 - 23:07
    I need to leave.
  • 23:07 - 23:10
    And that’s the only way I can help her.
  • 23:10 - 23:11
    That ’s only I can help myself.
  • 23:11 - 23:12
    I can help her.
  • 23:12 - 23:15
    I can help a lot of people, just to leave, being here..
  • 23:15 - 23:18
    I cannot help her at all.
  • 23:18 - 23:22
    So.. and also in 2017,
  • 23:22 - 23:26
    I lost a good friend in the summer
  • 23:26 - 23:31
    and it made me see how life is so.. so short.
  • 23:31 - 23:33
    You know. There’s no guarantee.
  • 23:33 - 23:39
    It’s just, just.. there is no reason to keep waiting for somebody to make a change
  • 23:39 - 23:40
    or somebody to be ready.
  • 23:40 - 23:44
    There’s no reason to keep waiting just go,
    you know.. just make the big step go.
  • 23:44 - 23:48
    Shamsa will be fine without you and once you’re gone you can help her.
  • 23:48 - 23:52
    So I need to make this video.
  • 23:52 - 23:55
    In case I don’t make it.
  • 23:55 - 24:03
    It’s not gonna be in vain, somebody will
    have some footage.
  • 24:03 - 24:04
    I have to..
  • 24:04 - 24:08
    I have to remember to say everything because
    this could be last video I make.
  • 24:08 - 24:10
    I don’t know what else to say.
  • 24:10 - 24:13
    I don’t know what else to say.
  • 24:15 - 24:22
    They will for sure will try to discredit this
    video and say it’s a lie or it’s an actress
  • 24:22 - 24:24
    or something for sure.
  • 24:26 - 24:29
    I don’t know what else to says about me.
  • 24:29 - 24:32
    I’ll just say more information about me.
  • 24:32 - 24:35
    I went to Dubai English Speaking School when I was a kid
  • 24:35 - 24:38
    and then I went to International School of Choueifat
  • 24:38 - 24:42
    and then for one year I went to the Latifa School for Girls.
  • 24:42 - 24:46
    And then yeah when I got out of prison, I
    was horse riding, inside Zabeel stables.
  • 24:46 - 24:51
    And then I was scuba diving in Fujairah and
    then I started skydiving at Skydive Dubai.
  • 24:51 - 24:57
    So there’s a lot of people who can.. who know me.
  • 24:57 - 24:58
    They know my face. They know how I talk.
  • 24:58 - 24:59
    They know me.
  • 24:59 - 25:02
    So even if they try to discredit me, I hope
  • 25:02 - 25:05
    some of my friends along the way would say
  • 25:05 - 25:08
    ʻI know the Latifa and that’s really herʼ and you know
  • 25:08 - 25:11
    Anyway I look like my sister Maitha.
  • 25:11 - 25:15
    I look like my brother Majid and they’re
    both famous figures.
  • 25:15 - 25:20
    So even if they try to discredit me, I look
    like my siblings.
  • 25:20 - 25:21
    So..
  • 25:22 - 25:27
    And I’ve also given copies of my passport
    and my certificates and all of that stuff,
  • 25:27 - 25:28
    which by the way..
  • 25:28 - 25:32
    I don’t have possession of my passport,
    they won’t give me my passport.
  • 25:32 - 25:35
    My UAE passport is never in my possession.
  • 25:35 - 25:38
    I just got a photocopy of it when I did my..
  • 25:39 - 25:40
    oh my..
  • 25:41 - 25:44
    when I got when I did my GCSE exams
  • 25:44 - 25:48
    after I left prison, I did some exams and
    they required passport copies.
  • 25:48 - 25:51
    I took a picture of my passport then
  • 25:51 - 25:56
    and also when I did my tandem rating for skydiving,
  • 25:58 - 26:01
    the FAI? I think that’s what it’s called..
    they require some medical clearance
  • 26:01 - 26:04
    and which requires a copy of your passport,
  • 26:04 - 26:05
    so I managed to copy.. the copy of my passport.
  • 26:05 - 26:10
    They wouldn’t even give me my passport,
    but they gave me a copy of my passport.
  • 26:10 - 26:12
    So I’m not allowed to drive.
  • 26:12 - 26:15
    I’m not allowed to travel or leave Dubai at all.
  • 26:15 - 26:18
    I can’t. I haven’t left the country since 2000.
  • 26:19 - 26:23
    I’ve been asking a lot just to go traveling
    to study to do anything normal.
  • 26:23 - 26:26
    They don’t let me.
  • 26:26 - 26:27
    I have to..
  • 26:27 - 26:29
    I have a curfew when I go out and I come back home..
  • 26:29 - 26:31
    I have to be back at a certain time.
  • 26:31 - 26:35
    They.. my mom she always like she needs to know exactly where I am.
  • 26:35 - 26:40
    The drivers report back to my father’s office where I go etcetera, etcetera.
  • 26:40 - 26:42
    We have assigned drivers.
  • 26:42 - 26:44
    We’re not allowed to get into anyone’s
    car.
  • 26:44 - 26:45
    I have to go with the driver.
  • 26:45 - 26:47
    The driver has to know exactly where I am.
  • 26:47 - 26:51
    Yeah, so that’s my life basically.
  • 26:51 - 26:52
    It’s very restricted.
  • 26:52 - 26:53
    I can’t..
  • 26:53 - 26:55
    I can’t even go to another Emirate without
    permission.
  • 26:55 - 26:56
    I can’t.
  • 26:56 - 26:59
    So I have to be in Dubai.
  • 27:01 - 27:02
    Yeah.
  • 27:02 - 27:04
    So, yeah, even if they try to discredit me,
  • 27:04 - 27:11
    I have a lot of data that they can’t discredit me.
  • 27:11 - 27:18
    Well, they will try and then they will be discredited.
  • 27:18 - 27:20
    So, yeah, this is going to be my last video.
  • 27:21 - 27:22
    I hope it isn’t..
  • 27:22 - 27:24
    I hope I never use this video.
  • 27:24 - 27:31
    I hope this video just gets deleted and we’re all okay
  • 27:33 - 27:35
    but this video needed to be made.
  • 27:37 - 27:39
    I don’t know what else I need to say.
  • 27:42 - 27:46
    So what I’m hoping for after I leave is
  • 27:47 - 27:48
    that
  • 27:49 - 27:51
    I get my passport
  • 27:52 - 27:55
    and I have freedom of choice in my life
  • 27:55 - 27:59
    and I can help Shamsa from wherever I am.
  • 27:59 - 28:02
    I can say give her her passport.
  • 28:02 - 28:03
    Let her travel.
  • 28:03 - 28:05
    Let her see me.
  • 28:05 - 28:05
    And
  • 28:07 - 28:10
    I think that’s the only way to help anyone including myself.
  • 28:15 - 28:17
    I don’t know what else to say.
  • 28:17 - 28:20
    I can talk about a lot of things that I’ve
    seen in my life.
  • 28:23 - 28:32
    When..when I was six months old, my father’s sister wanted me.
  • 28:32 - 28:34
    So she took me away from my mom.
  • 28:37 - 28:40
    So I lived for the first ten years of my life
    in the palace
  • 28:40 - 28:42
    believing that my aunt was in fact my mother
  • 28:42 - 28:45
    and I would visit my real mother only once a year.
  • 28:45 - 28:47
    I would never sleep there.
  • 28:47 - 28:49
    I’d just spend the day and go to the palace at night.
  • 28:51 - 28:54
    And when my younger brother was three months old,
  • 28:54 - 28:58
    my mom also gave him.
  • 28:59 - 29:03
    Well, she.. she that one was more voluntary
    because she didn’t want me to be alone,
  • 29:03 - 29:07
    so she gave my brother to me, so that we’re
    both together.
  • 29:08 - 29:11
    So yeah for the first ten years of my life
    I was living a lie
  • 29:11 - 29:14
    then I discovered who I was and then I went to live with my mom
  • 29:14 - 29:15
    and I was fighting to go live with my mom and
  • 29:15 - 29:20
    Shamsa was fighting for us to go and live with her.
  • 29:20 - 29:23
    So I always saw Shamsa as this person who rescued me.
  • 29:24 - 29:27
    So I was trying really hard to rescue her, so..
  • 29:27 - 29:30
    But so far I haven’t been successful.
  • 29:34 - 29:37
    I know what else they’ll probably do.
  • 29:37 - 29:44
    They’ll probably tell Shamsa to make some
    video talking about how I’m a liar or try
  • 29:44 - 29:46
    to discredit me or something like that.
  • 29:46 - 29:48
    For sure they will try to do that..
  • 29:48 - 29:49
    knowing them.
  • 29:49 - 29:50
    Of course, she will.
  • 29:50 - 29:51
    She has no freedom.
  • 29:51 - 29:53
    She can’t do anything you know.
  • 29:53 - 29:57
    She’s.. right now she’s..
  • 29:57 - 29:58
    she has a psychiatrist with her
  • 29:58 - 30:01
    and she’s surrounded by nurses.
  • 30:02 - 30:04
    They’re in her room when she sleeps.
  • 30:04 - 30:06
    They take notes of when she wakes up,
  • 30:06 - 30:08
    when she sleeps, when she eats, what she eats,
  • 30:08 - 30:10
    what she says, the conversation she says,
  • 30:10 - 30:12
    they watch her, take her pills,
  • 30:12 - 30:14
    they make sure that she takes all of her pills,
  • 30:14 - 30:16
    these..these drugs to control her mind,
  • 30:16 - 30:17
    I don’t know what they are.
  • 30:18 - 30:21
    And so her life is totally controlled.
  • 30:21 - 30:24
    Oh yeah in the summer also what happened, which
  • 30:24 - 30:26
    I should have said is,
  • 30:29 - 30:33
    Shamsa was discovered with a few mobile phones. So..
  • 30:36 - 30:38
    my mom and my other sister they got paranoid
  • 30:38 - 30:41
    that she was gonna try to contact the journalists in England again
  • 30:41 - 30:44
    to talk to them about her situation or whatever,
  • 30:44 - 30:47
    try to..to tarnish my father’s reputation basically.
  • 30:47 - 30:49
    They were scared of that.
  • 30:49 - 30:52
    So that’s when her situation got more controlled.
  • 30:52 - 30:55
    That’s when the psychiatrist was brought in to stay with her full-time.
  • 30:55 - 30:59
    She’s already dealing with psychiatrist
    but never somebody who was staying with her
  • 30:59 - 31:01
    like.. like as much as she is now.
  • 31:02 - 31:04
    And full-time nurses with her all the time.
  • 31:04 - 31:08
    Basically like walking around with a cage
    following her you know,
  • 31:08 - 31:10
    so she has no.. no freedom.
  • 31:10 - 31:11
    So basically yeah I think..
  • 31:11 - 31:14
    I think what they will do is they will try
    to use her to discredit me.
  • 31:14 - 31:15
    That would be amazing
  • 31:16 - 31:18
    because..
  • 31:19 - 31:21
    yeah they will..they will try to use her to discredit me.
  • 31:21 - 31:25
    They will never be able to get me to discredit myself because
  • 31:25 - 31:27
    you know..
  • 31:28 - 31:30
    they’re not gonna take me back alive,
  • 31:32 - 31:34
    so that’s not gonna happen.
  • 31:36 - 31:38
    I don’t know what else to say.
  • 31:39 - 31:45
    I mean this..this has been like a crazy almost two decades already since 2000 it started.
  • 31:46 - 31:50
    We're in 2018 now, it’s been.. it’s been really, really crazy.
  • 31:50 - 31:51
    A lot of people..
  • 31:51 - 31:55
    a lot of people’s lives
    have been hurt,
  • 31:55 - 31:57
    a lot of people tortured,
  • 31:57 - 32:00
    a lot of people lost their lives,
  • 32:00 - 32:01
    a lot of things happened... you know
  • 32:02 - 32:04
    He.. He covers up a lot of murders.
  • 32:04 - 32:06
    He doesn’t care, my father.
  • 32:07 - 32:12
    He’s the worst criminal you can ever imagine in your life
  • 32:12 - 32:16
    and he has this image of so modern
  • 32:16 - 32:19
    and all this bullshit.
  • 32:19 - 32:21
    I have thirty brothers and sisters.
  • 32:21 - 32:22
    He doesn’t..
  • 32:22 - 32:28
    He only puts the pictures and he has his public image like he’s a family man,
  • 32:28 - 32:30
    that’s all.. all bullshit.
  • 32:30 - 32:31
    He doesn’t.
  • 32:31 - 32:32
    It’s just PR.
  • 32:34 - 32:37
    He has a son in Lebanon that he never sees.
  • 32:37 - 32:40
    He saw.. he met him maybe once or twice and he gave him a handshake..
  • 32:40 - 32:43
    you know when his son came to Dubai.
  • 32:43 - 32:47
    He’s.. he’s neglected and so many, so many of his kids.
  • 32:47 - 32:49
    He’s not a.. He’s not a father.
  • 32:49 - 32:51
    He’s really, really disgusting,
  • 32:51 - 32:53
    really disgusting human being.
  • 33:00 - 33:01
    Yeah,
  • 33:02 - 33:07
    the way he lives his life and the way
    he treats other people
  • 33:10 - 33:16
    It's not what’s been portrayed by the media, his media.
  • 33:16 - 33:18
    Remember in Dubai, the media is controlled
  • 33:20 - 33:22
    as is much of the Middle East.
  • 33:26 - 33:27
    I don’t know what else to say.
  • 33:29 - 33:32
    I feel like if this thing kills me
  • 33:32 - 33:34
    or if I don’t make it out alive at least there’s a video.
  • 33:34 - 33:41
    It’s sad that it’s come to this point
    that I have to make a video, but I have to.
  • 33:42 - 33:44
    I don’t know what else to say.
  • 33:45 - 33:48
    trying to think of anything, everything,
  • 33:49 - 33:53
    what else can I say about my life.
  • 33:57 - 34:01
    I don’t know what else to say.
  • 34:03 - 34:09
    I really hope I don’t need this video.
  • 34:09 - 34:14
    And I’m feeling I won’t need it.
  • 34:14 - 34:18
    I’m feeling positive about the future
  • 34:18 - 34:23
    and I’m feeling like it’s a start of an adventure.
  • 34:23 - 34:30
    It’s a start of.. of me claiming my life,
    my freedom, freedom of choice.
  • 34:30 - 34:33
    I don’t expect it to be easy, nothing is
    easy,
  • 34:33 - 34:38
    but I expect it to be the start of a new chapter in my life
  • 34:38 - 34:42
    and one where I have some voice
  • 34:42 - 34:46
    where I don’t have to be silenced
  • 34:46 - 34:49
    and I can talk about myself, I can talk about Shamsa.
  • 34:49 - 34:52
    I can talk about what happened with us.
  • 34:56 - 35:01
    Yeah, I’m really looking forward to that.
  • 35:04 - 35:06
    Yeah, I don’t know,
  • 35:07 - 35:13
    I don’t know how..how I’ll feel just waking up in the morning
  • 35:13 - 35:14
    and thinking..
  • 35:14 - 35:15
    I can do whatever I want today.
  • 35:15 - 35:17
    I can go wherever I want.
  • 35:17 - 35:20
    I have all the choices in the world like anyone does.
  • 35:22 - 35:24
    That’ll be such a new different feeling.
  • 35:25 - 35:27
    That would be amazing.
  • 35:27 - 35:28
    I’m really looking forward to that.
  • 35:31 - 35:33
    There’s only so much you can do when you’re trapped in a country
  • 35:33 - 35:35
    and trapped by all these restrictions.
  • 35:35 - 35:37
    There’s only so much a human being can do.
  • 35:37 - 35:44
    I’m looking forward to that and I’m looking
    forward to Shamsa having a better life.
  • 35:44 - 35:47
    I’m looking forward to a lot of things.
  • 35:51 - 35:59
    Yeah, I really feel like this is a start of just a new chapter in my life.
  • 35:59 - 36:06
    I have no reason to stay in Dubai at all.
  • 36:06 - 36:08
    I have no reason to come back here.
  • 36:08 - 36:11
    I have people I love, but they can come see me.
  • 36:11 - 36:16
    You know the people in my family who I care about, my friends,
  • 36:16 - 36:18
    they can come see me wherever I am.
  • 36:18 - 36:21
    And that’s also hard because I don’t know where I’m gonna be after this.
  • 36:21 - 36:22
    I don’t have..
  • 36:23 - 36:25
    I don’t know where I’m gonna be based.
  • 36:25 - 36:28
    I don’t know where.. where I can live.
  • 36:28 - 36:30
    I don’t know anything.
  • 36:30 - 36:32
    I don’t know where I’m going.
  • 36:32 - 36:33
    We don’t know.
  • 36:33 - 36:36
    I know where I’m stopping.
  • 36:36 - 36:41
    I know where..where I have to be for a while, but I don’t know where I’ll end up.
  • 36:41 - 36:44
    It is kind of nice also.
  • 36:44 - 36:49
    I have all the options then, hopefully.
  • 36:49 - 36:56
    Yeah.. did I forget to say anything?
  • 36:57 - 36:58
    What do I talk about?
  • 36:58 - 37:00
    Do I talk about all the murders?
  • 37:00 - 37:02
    Do I talk about all the abuse I’ve seen?
  • 37:02 - 37:05
    Do I talk about.. what?
  • 37:09 - 37:12
    I don’t know what to talk about
  • 37:12 - 37:17
    because that would be a very, very long story.
  • 37:19 - 37:23
    I don’t know.
  • 37:23 - 37:29
    I should, shouldn’t I?
  • 37:35 - 37:39
    He’s responsible for a lot of deaths.
  • 37:40 - 37:44
    He is a major major criminal, major criminal.
  • 37:44 - 37:46
    There is no justice here.
  • 37:46 - 37:52
    They don’t care, especially if you’re
    female, your life is so disposable.
  • 37:52 - 37:54
    They don’t care.
  • 37:58 - 38:02
    He’s even burned down houses to hide the evidence.
  • 38:02 - 38:04
    He’s burned down houses.
  • 38:05 - 38:07
    He’s crazy.
  • 38:10 - 38:16
    I think it’s time that he faces the consequences
    of all the things that he’s done in his life.
  • 38:16 - 38:18
    He will.
  • 38:18 - 38:21
    He will definitely face the consequences.
  • 38:21 - 38:25
    No matter what he does to me, all the torture..
    everything, I’m not scared of him.
  • 38:25 - 38:26
    He doesn’t scare me.
  • 38:26 - 38:27
    He’s pathetic
  • 38:27 - 38:31
    Pathetic human being.
  • 38:31 - 38:34
    And he’s gonna face the consequences of
    everything he’s done
  • 38:34 - 38:35
    not just to me, but to everyone else.
  • 38:35 - 38:38
    He will face the consequences.
  • 38:38 - 38:40
    Yeah.
  • 38:43 - 38:51
    Okay, I think there’s nothing more in me to say now.
  • 38:53 - 38:55
    Hopefully, I don’t need this video.
  • 38:59 - 39:00
    Any final words..
  • 39:02 - 39:05
    Any final words..
  • 39:10 - 39:15
    Thank you to all my friends and to the people who really care about me
  • 39:15 - 39:17
    and to my.. to the family members who do care about me,
  • 39:17 - 39:18
    you know who you are,
  • 39:18 - 39:21
    not all of you care about me, but some of you do.
  • 39:22 - 39:23
    Thank you to those people.
  • 39:24 - 39:27
    And if I don’t make it out,
  • 39:28 - 39:32
    I really hope there’s some positive change will happen from all of this.
  • 39:33 - 39:35
    Okay.
