Venezuela opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado didn’t arrive in Oslo, Norway, in time to receive her award on Wednesday, but she was able to escape Venezuela.

Machado , who has been in hiding for over a year and has not made a public appearance in 11 months, reportedly safely arrived in Oslo on Wednesday, hours after the award ceremony took place. Her daughter, Ana Corina Sosa Machado, accepted the prize on her mother’s behalf at the official ceremony, and said she would finally be able to “embrace” her award-winning mother after enduring “16 months of living hell.”
