Protests as Spanish court orders 'scoundrel rapists' to be released

-
Several Spanish cities have witnessed protests after a court ordered the release of five men - known as "the pack" - accused of raping an 18-year-old woman at the bull-running festival in Pamplona.
About a thousand people shouted "enough macho violence" in Pamplona, while in Barcelona a banner read: "In the face of patriarchal justice, feminist self-defence."
One protester, 66-year-old Carmen Roman, said it was "a shame these scoundrel rapists get away so easily".
There were also protests in Bilbao, Vitoria and San Sebastian.
Further demonstrations are expected on Friday outside the justice ministry in Madrid, and in Seville, where the men are from.

David Beckham has thrown his weight behind North America's bid to host the 2026 World Cup as the vote looms, saying the fans' passion for football would make the event "very special".
