Two black protesters filed a lawsuit against the Trump campaign and the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex (BJCC) after being attacked by Trump supporters at a rally last year.

Mercutio Terrell Southall, Sr., a Black Lives Matter activist, and Carlos Montez Chaverst, Jr., a Birmingham activist, sued for $1 million in damages, reports AL.com.

The central tenet of their suit is the assumption that a ticket purchase to a Trump rally also comes with the reasonable expectation of protection, for which the Trump campaign would be responsible.

“The BJCC and the Trump campaign must be held responsible for failing to provide the required leadership during the Donald Trump rally and the required security,” the lawsuit claims.

Last year, Southall led a “Black Lives Matter” and “Dump the Trump” chant at a Trump rally in Birmingham, Alabama. At one point, Southall fell to the ground and Trump supporters appear to punch and kick him, according to video of the incident.

Southall alleged that one supporter tried to choke him; while that is not clearly seen in the video obtained by CNN, a woman can be heard shouting “Don’t choke him! Don’t choke him!”
