An anti-war group and an organization of Arab-Americans filed a lawsuit Friday challenging New York City's denial of a permit for a civil rights rally in Central Park two days before the Republican National Convention.

The anti-war ANSWER coalition and the National Council of Arab Americans said in the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, that they were unfairly denied a permit for an Aug. 28 rally on the Great Lawn by the city Department of Parks and Recreation.

The parks department was listed as a defendant along with Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the police department. ..

Another group, United for Peace and Justice, has also threatened to sue after it was denied a permit to stage an Aug. 29 rally in Central Park, just before the start of the convention, scheduled for Aug. 30-Sept. 2.
