Several political groups, including Nidaa Tunes and the Popular Front, signed an accord at a Tunis conference to combat terrorism and promote human rights. The ruling Islamist Ennahda party and the Congress for the Republic (CPR) refused to participate. Adel Elmi, head of the Tunisian Moderate Association for Awareness and Reform (formerly known as the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice), was expelled from the conference for his links to the assassination of liberal political leader Chokri Belaid.
