A Hungarian camerawoman who caused controversy after kicking and tripping refugees as they fled from police near the Hungary-Serbia border in September 2015, was given, on Thursday, a three-year suspended sentence for disorderly conduct.
Petra Laszlo, who appeared via video link at a court in the southern city of Szeged, said she would appeal.
“It was all over within two seconds,” she said, adding she was acting out of panic and felt under attack.
“Everybody was shouting, it was very frightening,” she added.
The judge rejected Laszlo’s contention that she acted in self-defense.
In addition to the three-year suspended sentence, she was ordered to pay a fine of 53,000 forints ($183).
Laszlo, who had earlier said she would sue one of the refugees she tripped, was fired from her job at N1TV, a private television station in Hungary.
