The internet is alive with condemnation today for Hungarian camerawoman Petra László, caught on film tripping Syrian refugees as they attempted to flee the police near the Serbian border. In the videos below she can be clearly seen to purposefully trip both young and old refugees, causing and father and son to fall to the ground.
László has now been fired from her position at TV station N1TV, run by the Hungarian radical anti-immigration far-right Jobbik party. It is not clear whether her actions were a result of her own prejudices or were designed to help her obtain more compelling footage of the scene, likely both.
A sick version of 'making' the news'. After being shared on Twitter by German reporter Stephan Richter the incident has gone viral, leading to the creation of the Petra László Wall of Shame Facebook group.
