A notorious Brisbane activist arrested for breaking his ban on entering the G20 security zone has been remanded in custody.

Mitchelton man Ciaron O'Reilly, 54, was grabbed by police walking across Cordelia Street towards the Convention and Exhibition Centre about 3pm Saturday.

"My intentions from the beginning were to non-violently confront President Obama on the persecution of the Queenslander Julian Assange and also Chelsea Manning," Mr O'Reilly said before his arrest.

"They [police] say I'm a prohibited personI don't think any event is worth staging where you suspend our universal human rights."

Four other people were arrested during protests on Saturday.

Police form a wall on the streets on Saturday as G20 leaders meet in Brisbane.
