[LINK] "Camerawoman plans to sue refugee she infamously tripped, and Facebook"
CBC's Lauren O'Neill reports on Petra Laszlo, the Hungarian journalist who was caught on film tripping desperate refugees, and what she plans to do next. Apparently lawsuits against people who shamed her, and migration to Russia now that she is unemployable, are planned.
Hungarian TV journalist who was caught tripping and kicking refugees on camera last month is making headlines once again this week - and inciting perhaps even more rage now than she did when the infamous footage first surfaced.
This is because, according to Russian newspaper Izvestia, the former N1TV camerawoman has announced that she plans to sue one of the very Syrian refugees she was seen kicking as "a matter of honour."
She also intends to sue Facebook for allegedly failing to take down negative and threatening content directed towards her in relation to the video, according to NPR.
"Facebook played a major role in my situation," said Petra Laszlo, 40, to Izvestia on Tuesday according to an English translation of the interview.
Citing an almost 10,000-member strong group on the social network called "Petra Laszlo Shame Wall," she allegedly claimed that Facebook "helped embitter people against me."
