A statement from Caitlin McNamara following yesterday's announcement by the Crown Prosecution Service, shared at her request and with our full support:

"I am deeply disappointed by the Crown Prosecution Service’s decision that they have no jurisdiction to prosecute Sheikh Nahyan. Unfortunately this decision seems in keeping with the failure of the CPS when dealing with rape and crimes against women. I will be seeking a review."

A statement from Hay Festival chair Caroline Michel:

"What happened to our colleague and friend Caitlin McNamara in Abu Dhabi last February was an appalling violation and a hideous abuse of trust and position. Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan made a mockery of his ministerial responsibilities and tragically undermined his government's attempt to work with Hay Festival to promote free speech and female empowerment.

"We continue to support Caitlin in seeking legal redress for this attack and we urge our friends and partners in the UAE to reflect on the behaviour of Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan and send a clear signal to the world that such behaviour will not be tolerated.  Hay Festival will not be returning to Abu Dhabi while he remains in position."
