Gang rape verdicts spur more protests

MADRID (AP):

Tens of thousands of people yesterday marched in northern Spain for a third consecutive day to protest the acquittal of five men on gang rape charges.

An 18-year-old woman was attacked during the city's famed San Fermin bull-running festival in 2016.

The five men, whose members named their WhatsApp group 'The Pack', were convicted last Thursday on a lesser felony of sexual abuse and sentenced to nine years each in prison.

The court's decision has also prompted thousands of women to share their experiences of abuse on Twitter under the hashtag #cuentalo, Spanish for #tell it.
