US EditionFlorida Nonprofit Founder Recounts ‘Dangerous' Mission to Help Machado Leave Venezuela for Norway
A U.S. private team led a 15-hour sea and land extraction to safely move Machado from Venezuela to Norway amid high risks from Maduro's regime, sources said.
- Bryan Stern, head of the Grey Bull Rescue Foundation, said Grey Bull extracted María Corina Machado from Venezuelan soil and ferried her to a flight to Oslo for the Nobel Peace Prize; a representative confirmed the rescue began Tuesday.
- Facing persecution and hiding for almost a year, María Corina Machado prompted a rapid extraction planned by Grey Bull Rescue Foundation in about four days, Stern said.
- A nighttime maritime rendezvous unfolded in rough seas that left Bryan Stern and the Grey Bull Rescue Foundation soaked, with Stern calling Machado's boarding among the riskiest moments.
- Machado's daughter accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on her behalf, and Stern said Machado reunited with her children, adding `We talked about her seeing her children for the first time in two years and I almost cried`.
- Stern said the mission was funded by a few generous donors and `The U.S. government did not contribute a single penny to this operation, at least not that I know of`, while Grey Bull unofficially collaborated with the U.S. military.
