Hungarian camerawoman who tripped refugee announces she will sue that refugee

Cory Doctorow 1:24 pm Wed Oct 21, 2015

Petra Laszlo is the unpleasant human who tripped a Syrian refugee called Osama Abdul Mohsen as he walked past her with a child in his arms.

She is currently on trial for disturbing the peace, but has vowed that whatever the outcome, she will sue Facebook (for not clobbering the message-boards in which people say mean things about her) and her victim, Mr Mohsen, who has settled in Italy.

She has also directed her anger towards Osama Abdul Mohsen, one of the Syrian refugees she kicked, and says she plans to sue him. "He changed his testimony, because he initially blamed the police," Laszlo said, though she can be clearly seen in two different videos kicking him. "My husband wants to prove my innocence. For him, it is now a matter of honor. It is now a matter of honor."

No word on whether she will also sue Mr Mohsen's child.
