The daughter of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on her mother's behalf on Wednesday, hours after officials said Machado would not attend the ceremony.
Jørgen Watne Frydnes, chair of the Norwegian Nobel committee, told the award ceremony in Oslo that "María Corina Machado has done everything in her power to be able to attend the ceremony here today — a journey in a situation of extreme danger."
