Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado appeared in public for the first time in 11 months Thursday after sneaking out of her homeland and emerging onto a hotel balcony in Norway in front of a crowd of cheering supporters.

Her appearance came hours after her daughter had accepted the Nobel Peace Prize award on her behalf, in recognition for mounting the most serious peaceful challenge in years to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s authoritarian government.

Her appearance also came hours after President Trump had announced that the U.S. had seized an oil tanker off the Venezuelan coast. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said the Coast Guard, FBI and Homeland Security executed a seizure warrant for the tanker, which they allege was being used to transport oil to Iran, in defiance of U.S. sanctions.
