Director of the UAE's Permanent Committee for Human Rights had repeated contact with Epstein

Emails released in the Epstein files reveal repeated contact between UAE diplomat Hind Al-Owais and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein between 2011 and 2012. The messages show Owais arranging meetings for Epstein with herself and her sister, months before her appointment as Senior Advisor to the UAE President’s Office at the United Nations in 2015.

Epstein’s calendar and messages show in-person meetings and repeated coordination with Owais, including comments about introducing her sister. While the documents do not indicate that Epstein secured her UN role, the timing and access underscore questions about career advancement and elite networks within international institutions.

Owais later served as Counsellor at the UAE Permanent Mission to the UN and now heads the UAE Permanent Committee for Human Rights.

UAE connections to Epstein is slowing being revealed

New images from the Epstein documents show the senior Emirati official Ahmed Bin Sulayman and Jeffrey Epstein looking at a fragment placed on the ground that they have just received from the "Kiswa", the fabric covering the Kaaba in Mecca, the first holy place of Islam.

Context: In 2017, internal emails (included in the famous Epstein Files, recently made public by the US Department of Justice) show the sending of fragments of the sacred fabric of the Kaaba (the Kiswa) to Jeffrey Epstein.

The people involved in the sending are Aziza al-Ahmadi, a Saudi businesswoman based in the United Arab Emirates who coordinated the operation, and Abdullah al-Maari, a Saudi presented in the emails as her contact on site.

In one of the emails sent to Jeffrey Epstein, Aziza al-Ahmadi presents the fragment of the Kiswa before sending it as follows:

"This black fabric has been touched by at least 10 million Muslims of different faiths, Sunnis, Shiites and others. They make seven times around the Kaaba, then each one tries as much as he can to touch it and deposit their prayers, their wishes, their tears and their hopes, hoping then that all their prayers will be answered."

The fragment of the Kiswa was shipped from Saudi Arabia via British Airways Air Cargo to Florida (Epstein's residence), where Ahmed Bin Sulayman is present alongside Jeffrey Epstein to receive it.

Kiswa was used as a carpet inside his home. An image shows the Emirati billionaire, Sultan Ahmad Bin Sulaym—one of Epstein's best friends—inspecting the Kiswah at one of his homes in Palm Beach.

In the photo, Ahmed Bin Sulayman is the head of an important authority linked to the Emirati government, the DMCC, a free zone created by the state to attract international companies.

He is also a member of the Dubai Executive Council, an influential government body that helps define the major orientations of the emirate, as well as the UAE Federal Tax Authority, a federal government authority.

Emirati DP World CEO Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem named as sender of 'torture' video to Epstein

Rep. Thomas Massie has revealed that the individual Jeffrey Epstein referred to in an email about a “torture video” has been identified as Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, CEO and chairman of DP World, one of the world’s largest logistics firms headquartered in Dubai. 

Citing the DOJ’s latest Epstein file release, Massie said the department had “tacitly admitted” Bin Sulayem was the sender of the video referenced by Jeffrey Epstein, who allegedly acted as an intermediary in Bin Sulayem’s backchannel ties with Israeli security and business figures. 

The disclosure comes as the US Department of Justice faces accusations of a cover-up after lawmakers viewed the unredacted files on Monday, with House Judiciary ranking member Jamie Raskin saying the department made “mysterious” redactions that obscured alleged abusers’ names while exposing victims’ identities.
