'Wolf pack' jailed for sex attack released by Spanish court
21 June 2018
A Spanish court has ordered the provisional release of five men convicted of sexually assaulting a young woman during the famous San Fermin bull-running festival.
All five were sentenced to nine years for sexual abuse but acquitted of rape, a decision that sparked protests.
The 18-year-old victim's ordeal caused an outcry and the sentencing of the men in April led to angry protests.
New demonstrations by women's groups are under way in some Spanish cities.
The men belonged to a WhatsApp group called La manada (the wolf pack) when the incident took place during the festival in Pamplona in July 2016.
