Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado said on Thursday that she does not believe the Venezuelan government knew where she was hiding for most of this year, as she met Norway’s leader a day after her daughter received the Nobel Peace Prize on her behalf.

Ms Machado arrived in Oslo hours after Wednesday’s prize ceremony and made her first public appearance in 11 months in the early hours of Thursday.
