"A Hungarian camerawoman fired for kicking refugees is going to sue Facebook for bias and helping to fuel hatred against her, a Moscow-based daily reported. She is also considering moving to Russia.
In September, reporters covering the EU refugee and migrant crisis on the Hungarian-Serbian border caught Petra Laszlo tripping a refugee with a child in his hands on camera. The incident blew up into a major international scandal in the days following.
The accused camerawoman, Petra Laszlo, who worked for Hungary?s N1TV at the time, has apologized, saying it was a mistake. She explained in earlier statements that she had panicked and wanted to protect herself when hundreds of asylum seekers broke through a police cordon in a field and ran in her direction."
In an interview with Russia?s Izvestia newspaper published on Tuesday, Laszlo clarified that she was only ?trying to help police,? as the refugee had not obeyed orders.
?I pushed him only because I was afraid. I did not see that there was a child. I?m sorry that it turned out this way,? she told the paper.
