Interesting letter in Guardian

will racing post print it?

Following the recent BBC documentary detailing the flight from Dubai of one of the daughters of the worlds biggest racehorse owner, and subsequent speculation as to her whereabouts(according to Amnesty she has not been heard from since her abduction, raising concerns about her welfare) would it not be appropriate for those involved in racing to refuse to do business with the alleged perpetrator, at least until allegations of gross violations of international law have been independently investigated?

Amnesty International do not accuse people of kidnap and imprisonment lightly, and there are rumours of even worse. We know she was abducted in international waters, something that carries heavy penalties. This woman's heartfelt pleading on a youtube video is powerful evidence of wrongdoing. An appalling crime has been committed, yet nobody is prepared to speak of it(at least not in public. Privately it is discussed in horrified hushed tones).

Amnesty have asked for evidence that the woman concerned is unharmed, but Dubai ignore every request., thereby fuelling morbid suspicion.  It is rumoured that she has been killed. Hard to believe that a Princess can not let ANYONE know she is ok. After watching the disturbing film and BBC reconstruction, it is difficult not to fear the worst. Those in racing will say that it is not their concern, and technically this is true, but morally it is everybody's concern, and racing is in a unique position to be able to help this victim, or bring pressure to bear. What will it do? If I were a betting man, I would take 1/3 a cowardly, unprincipled nothing.

Yours pessimistically
