AIBU to think that this should not be allowed to happen?
My mother has taken my daughter without my permission to another country meaning that she can’t easily see me or her siblings.
I am a kind, gentle, caring mother and AIBU to think that this is against human rights?

Well on the face of it, of course you're not being unreasonable but I imagine there's more to it.

Is it a cultural thing? Have you called the police?

How old is your DD?
What you are implying so far is that your mum has essentially kidnapped your child?
How did they get her passport? Does she live with her?

Way more context needed here.....do you have guardianship of your child? Or does your mother?

Has she taken her permanently ?

or has she taken her on a holiday for an extended period, but your daughter will then be returned to you at the end?

“Human rights” is an often misnomered term on this website. I think I know what you mean but you may well be deemed AIBU for melodrama reasons

anyway - more detail needed

Seek legal advice on Tuesday urgently..

Not sure about human rights but it’s against the law unless she has guardianship.
