Spain's feminist movement is pushing for changes to the law after a court acquitted five men of gang raping an 18-year-old woman at Pamplona's bull-running festival. Protesters have filled streets across the country in response to appeals from women's groups, leading Spain's conservative government to announce it will consider changing rape laws. The issue also hogged the headlines of newspapers all around the country and an order of Carmelite nuns added their voices to the wave of condemnation of the court judgement.
