OSLO, NORWAY — Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Corina Machado arrived in Oslo in the middle of the night on Thursday, Dec. 11, the head of the Nobel committee said, after she failed to reach the Norwegian capital in time to receive her award at a ceremony held hours earlier.
The 58-year-old engineer had secretly left Venezuela for Oslo in defiance of a decade-long travel ban imposed by authorities in her home country and after spending more than a year in hiding.
