DUBAI (Reuters) - Sheikha Latifa, one of the daughters of the ruler of Dubai, has issued a statement by email to Reuters saying she is free to travel, according to lawyers who said they were acting on her behalf. Law firm Taylor Wessing said the statement was issued under Latifa's instructions in response to queries from Reuters. Reuters could not independently verify whether Latifa has freedom of movement or the circumstances under which the Taylor Wessing statement was issued. Latifa, 35, has previously publicly communicated through the Free Latifa group and other campaigners which have posted videos on her behalf. Speaking after the Spain photo was posted to an Instagram account on Monday, Free Latifa co-founder David Haigh told Reuters Latifa appears to be enjoying an increasing degree of freedom and is travelling.
