She was scared? Why did she think the refugees were running? Trying to get to the IKEA sale?

Totally unacceptable behaviour, I hope they do take some form of action against both her and the person who appears to have set up a fake Twitter account in her name.

pity they don't put Hungary on trial too for abusing refugees - did you see those pictures of masked police showing food to them like you would animals in a cage - disgraceful and inhumane

Having seen the scene where she tripped up the man carrying the child she wasn't in fear of her safety , she was filming and deliberatlty tripped the man as he ran past her

It was a nasty thing to do as he went flying and so did the child from his arms .

Sorry doesn't cut the mustard, I'm afraid. No wonder she's now unemployed.

She must know nothing of her country's history and the turbulence during the Hungarian Revolution. Some people and some countries have short memories.

who tripped up refugees.... this from Middle East Monitor:........



The Hungarian authorities announced on Friday that they are to put camerawoman Petra Laszlo on trial for kicking and tripping refugees, Alkhaleejonline.net has reported.

Laszlo, who was working for Hungary’s N1TV, was caught on camera kicking and tripping refugees on the Serbian border. She was arrested and fired from her job, and then made a public apology. In an official statement, the local court said that she has been released on bail pending a trial, noting that the Public Prosecution had questioned her and decided that she is to be tried over “violations”.

Footage of the incident showed Laszlo deliberately sticking her leg out as a desperate man carrying a crying child ran past her at a holding area in Roszke. She was also filmed kicking out at a young refugee girl.

Laszlo tried to justify what she did, claiming that she was scared as people ran past her. “It is hard to make good decisions at a time when people are in a panic and many hundreds of people are rushing at you,” she insisted. “I am just a woman, a mother who is now unemployed, who made a bad decision in a panicked situation. I am truly sorry.”
