Streets closed as 250 people march in Brisbane over terrorism ahead of G20 ABOUT 250 people marched in Brisbane's inner city to say "no to terrorism" in a message of peace yesterday, as police geared up security for the G20 summit. Organisers expected up to 1000 people but said the reduced crowd of 250 might have been due to concerns raised about the extra police and security for the G20. Police, including the mounted unit and bike squad, closed streets for the march and legal observers, dressed in white vests, remained close to the group as they monitored the procession. Speaker Syed Mohammad Reza Jan Kazmi told the mostly Muslims crowd that "terrorism has no religion" and urged supporters to help spread a message of peace. "Real Islam means peace, real Islam means tranquillity, real Islam is a message of love," he told the crowd. Protest through Brisbane on Sunday. Meanwhile a growing group of indigenous Australians are gathering in Musgrave Park - just 200m from the Convention Centre where key G20 meetings will be held. Veteran indigenous leader Wayne Wharton is determined to make the Brisbane Aboriginal Sovereign Embassy a rival to the G20, not a spoiler. ITEMS BANNED: Red Zone activated for Brisbane G20 summit Placards are held during the anti-terrorism protest on Sunday. "Most protest groups don't get within 2km of the G20 and here we are looking right down at it,"" he said yesterday. But we do not have to burn cars or take over buildings or commit terrorist acts. "We are here to examine ­issues confronting indigenous people the world over as well as the hundreds of countries not represented by the G20, and come up with some of our own creative solutions."" The group is issuing separate media accreditation to media, while Mr Wharton is confident close liaison with police will ensure protest marches go smoothly. Police prepare for the G20 meeting in Brisbane later this week. Originally published as Peaceful protest a trial run
