On 16 September, 65 migrants were rescued from the Atlantic off the coast of Spain. Three dead bodies were also recovered. Just eight of the surviving migrants were female. Lanzarote emergency services have reported that one of these women was gang-raped by her fellow passengers during the perilous journey. Three men, aged 21, 25 and 30, have since been arrested in connection with the attack.
