Egypt's Maat Foundation for Peace, Development and Human Rights has asked the court to revoke NRK's licence to do journalism in Egypt and expel its correspondent, the Cairo-based Sigurd Falkenberg Mikkelsen. 

The basis for their case is related to the fact NRK earlier this year revealed that Global Network for Rights and Development (GNRD), an NGO registered in Norway which has close links to Maat Foundation, has been involved in corruption and money laundering.
