Venezuela Says Opposition Leader Will Become Fugitive if She Collects Nobel
Attorney General Saab states Machado faces charges including conspiracy and terrorism and would be a fugitive if she leaves Venezuela to accept the Nobel Peace Prize.
- On Thursday , Venezuela's Attorney General Tarek William Saab told AFP that Maria Corina Machado would be considered a `fugitive` if she travels to Oslo, Norway, to accept the Nobel Peace Prize.
- Saab said the designation stems from Machado being outside Venezuela and facing criminal probes for conspiracy, incitement of hatred, terrorism, and supporting U.S. military deployment in the Caribbean.
- Ms. Machado says she is hiding in Venezuela but plans to attend the Oslo ceremony on December 10, as stated in a video posted on Tuesday.
- Authorities warned the designation risks blocking Maria Corina Machado from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in person if she leaves Venezuela amid standoff involving U.S. military moves and Nicolás Maduro's claim of a coup attempt.
- Machado's planned Oslo trip could deepen diplomatic friction as she welcomed U.S. strikes that reportedly killed at least 83 people, while Caracas called the deaths `extrajudicial executions`.
