NCA seeks no-confidence in Tunisian government

Seventy-five members of Tunisia\'s National Constituent Assembly (NCA) have submitted a request to pass a no-confidence motion against the government of Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali, the Secretary-General of the Islamist Ennahda movement, after he sanctioned the extradition of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi\'s last prime minister Baghdadi Mahmudi to Libya. Members said in a statement that Jebali’s decision was a \"clear violation of international conventions and contradicts the principles and goals of the revolution\". They also said that this decision caused dispute between the powers of the interim president and the prime minister. President Moncef Marzouki slammed the move after it emerged that he was not consulted on the decision. Marzouki has been vocal in his opposition to Mahmudi\'s, saying Libya\'s transitional government had not established a \"fair\" justice system yet. The head of the NCA\'s opposition democratic bloc said the request was signed by 75 members by Tuesday evening, reportedly satisfying the requirements for a legal quorum. The members withdrew from the NCA session on Tuesday that discussed three bills, after they refused to include the extradition matter in the session’s agenda.he tex
