The facts, as they appear from the applicants' submissions, may be summarised as follows:
The applicants are two Norwegian Lapps. The first applicant was born in 1950 and is residing at E., Alta. He is a reindeer shepherd. The second applicant was born in 1944 and is residing at M., Alta. He is a fisherman and hunter.
The applicants are assisted before the Commission by Mr Digemes, a lawyer practising in Oslo.
On 15 June 1979 the Norewegian Government decided after consent from the Parliament to commence works in the Alia Valley for the purpose of erecting a hydroelectric power station in the valley. These works would eventually put parts of the Valley under water.
As a protest against this project and against the treatment of the Lapps in general, an independent group of Lapps, including the applicants, decided to protest outside the Parliament (Stortinget) in Oslo.
