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.

The announcement comes two days after a photo appearing to show her abroad surfaced on social media and four months after the BBC aired a video message in which Latifa said she was being held captive.
