Dubai royal custody dispute deepens as ex-wife vanishes
A British human-rights lawyer says Zeynab Javadli, ex-wife of Sheikh Saeed bin Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has disappeared after contact was lost; her Dubai home was found empty with changed locks, and she and her three daughters have not been seen. The long-running custody dispute is cited by her supporters, while authorities have not commented; the case echoes the Latifa episode and has prompted calls for international verification of her welfare and whereabouts.
