Hungarian camerawoman who kicked migrants sentenced

Petra Laszlo was filming refugees in September 2015 as they broke through a police cordon.

She was captured kicking two people as they fled, including a young girl. Later she appeared to trip a man carrying a child.

She says she will appeal.

Judge Illes Nanasi said Laszlo's behaviour "ran counter to societal norms" and rejected her defence lawyer's argument that she was trying to protect herself.

"I turned and saw several hundred people charging toward me, it was quite incredibly frightening," she said.
