Venezuelan dissident and Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado appeared in Oslo after a “journey in a situation of extreme danger” to reach the Norwegian capital from her place of hiding in Venezuela, Bloomberg reports.

Wall Street Journal : “The Venezuelan opposition leader was trying to get to Norway by Wednesday in time to receive the Nobel Peace Prize that she won for challenging Venezuela’s authoritarian leader, Nicolás Maduro. First she had to get from the Caracas suburb where she has been in hiding for a year to a coastal fishing village, where a skiff awaited her.”

“Over the course of 10 nerve-racking hours, Machado and two people helping her escape hit 10 military checkpoints, avoiding capture each time, before she reached the coast by midnight.”
