NYT: Egypt relying on accusatory testimony in NGO case

The document detailing the government's case against the NGOs is out and contains some doozies.

Via the NYT:

"The case, for example, cites documents seized in December from one group, the International Republican Institute, that included Wikipedia maps of Egypt showing the country divided into four parts. While Egypt is typically described as comprising four regions--upper and lower Egypt, greater Cairo and the Suez Canal and Sinai region--the prosecution suggested that the maps showed a plan to dismember the country."

For real?
