Protesters on Thursday rally after a nine-year prison sentence was given to five men accused of gang-raping a woman during the San Fermin festival in Pamplona, Spain, in 2016. Five men accused of gang raping a woman at Pamplona's bull-running festival were sentenced on Thursday to nine years in jail for "sexual abuse," avoiding the more serious charge of rape, sparking protests.
The men, aged 27 to 29, had been accused of raping the woman, then 18, at the entrance to an apartment building in Pamplona on July 7, 2016, at the start of the week-long San Fermin festival, which draws tens of thousands of visitors.
The five, who are all from the southern city of Seville, allegedly filmed the incident with their smartphones and then bragged about it on a WhatsApp messaging group, where they referred to themselves as "La Manada," or "The Pack" in English.

This is bad, good for these protesters in Spain for their actions. Strange story, they call this group of men the "wolf pack" in some other reports.
