The Open Society Institute (OSI), financed by billionaire George Soros, has accused Kazakhstan officials of trying to close down its local office. A demand for unpaid taxes and fines of $600,000 (£425,000) is politically motivated, the OSI claimed, adding that it paid the money in October.
The organisation has found itself in trouble after being accused of helping to topple Georgia's former president.
It denies having any role, but offices have had to close across the region.
Not wanted?
The OSI shut its office in Moscow last year and has withdrawn from Uzbekistan and Belarus.
In the Ukraine earlier this year, Mr Soros - who took on the Bank of England in the 1990s - and won, was pelted by protestors.
"This legal prosecution can be considered an attempt by the government to force Soros Foundation-Kazakhstan to cease its activities in Kazakhstan and shut its doors for Kazakh citizens and organisations," the OSI said.

Hillary Clinton and the Democrats love Soros. Shouldn't everyone?
Soros should be kicked out of Earth, of his ways of "doing business" dwarf mafia.
fugettabout second "of"
Soros screwed many people and tried to screw us. Is there an option available against his company?
After spending Millions to attempt to defeat George Bush I cant help but wonder how much Soros sent to the Tsunami disaster. I would bet it was about the same as he sent to the Bush campaign.
George Soros upset = good
George Soros or his ilk expelled from a country = very good.
Khazakis, rejoice on this day!
Soros keeps adding to his resume, hoping to achieve "Supervillain" status.
Nazarbayev is a thief. The only reason the US dropped charges against him is his cooperation in the WOT.
What did it matter, Soros still won Ukraine. 2005 holds Bulgaria and Armenia to his addition of stoogies. By 2008 a poisoned (and surviving) Hildabeast will be in the White House and we'll all enjoy Sorosland.
