NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV-AP) - The American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee filed a lawsuit Monday morning on behalf of the Occupy Nashville protesters.

Read the full lawsuit - pdf (31 pages)

The lawsuit was filed in a U.S. District Federal Court and stated it sought to "enforce unconstitutional rules that violate free speech rights."

The lawsuit claims the curfew was created without following required procedures, and its enforcement violates the protesters rights to free speech, freedom of assembly and due process.

A hearing is scheduled at 3:30 p.m. Monday.
