UK does not shirk responsibilities in cases like Dubai's Sheikha Latifa -Raab

Britain said it does not shirk its responsibilities in sensitive cases such as the fate of Sheikha Latifa, one of the ruler of Dubai's daughters, who said in a video that she was being held hostage in a villa.

"It's not as simple as saying well we could apply sanctions. There is a very strict legal threshold," Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab told BBC radio on Wednesday.

"When there's a human rights issue or a very sensitive case we do not shirk our responsibilities."
