Video Reveals Dramatic Rescue of Venezuelan Opposition Leader

The American rescue team Grey Bull has released a video showing the operation to rescue Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado from the country last December. Machado left Venezuela to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in Norway. The video captures her transfer from one boat to another at night, with her stating that she is alive and safe. The operation, which lasted 16 hours, was carried out in difficult weather conditions and funded by anonymous donors. Machado states that she received support from the US government, without providing details.
