Hungarian prosecutors have filed charges against a camerawoman accused of kicking and tripping refugees fleeing police near the southern border with Serbia last year.
Petra Laszlo was fired from her job at N1TV, a television station with nationalist sympathies, after video footage spread online appearing to show her kicking a girl and a young man.
Her prosecution for disorderly conduct comes as political tensions mount over Europes migration crisis in the region.
