Dubai: It's flash, it's brash, it's successful — but what's going on beneath the surface? Sheikha Shamsa fled the family's UK estate in Surrey in but was later abducted in Cambridgeshire by agents of the sheikh and forcibly returned to Dubai where she remains in captivity.
A request by Cambridgeshire Police to visit Dubai to investigate her abduction was refused. Sheikha Latifa made two unsuccessful attempts to flee her father's family, in and After the first she was imprisoned by her father in Dubai for over three years.
In the second attempt she was abducted at sea off the Indian coast and forcibly returned to Dubai, where she remains under house arrest. The judge found her allegations of serious physical abuse amounting to torture, made by Latifa in a public video, to be credible.
What happened to Dubai's Sheikha Latifa? She did not know, however, it was likely mobile phone numbers belonging to her, her closest aides, advisers and friends, were being entered into a computer system operated by agents of the emirate of Dubai , one of the clients of spyware manufacturer NSO Group.
The data leak is a list of more than 50, phone numbers that, since , are believed to have been selected as those of people of interest by government clients of NSO Group, which sells surveillance software.
The data also contains the time and date that numbers were selected, or entered on to a system. Forbidden Stories, a Paris-based nonprofit journalism organisation, and Amnesty International initially had access to the list and shared access with 16 media organisations including the Guardian. More than 80 journalists have worked together over several months as part of the Pegasus project.
However, forensic examinations of a small sample of mobile phones with numbers on the list found tight correlations between the time and date of a number in the data and the start of Pegasus activity — in some cases as little as a few seconds. Amnesty examined 67 smartphones where attacks were suspected. Of those, 23 were successfully infected and 14 showed signs of attempted penetration. For the remaining 30, the tests were inconclusive, in several cases because the handsets had been replaced.
Fifteen of the phones were Android devices, none of which showed evidence of successful infection. While the data is organised into clusters, indicative of individual NSO clients, it does not say which NSO client was responsible for selecting any given number. NSO claims to sell its tools to 60 clients in 40 countries, but refuses to identify them.
