The delegation met Tunisian associations’ members of the Net and some of official parties among them the head of the Human rights high committee, Moncer Erouissi, The delegation was able to hold a meeting with members of The National Council of Liberties (CNLT) who managed to enter their premises for the first time since approximately one month after policemen had imposed a security cordon on the location to hold them back from it.
This visit comes in the context of a programme that the EMHRN began to assist human rights activists in Tunisia, Syria, Algeria, and Egypt. The network considers these countries a first priority because they noticed a serious deterioration in human rights conditions during the last years
