World Youth Day protestors have been told they could be fined $5,000 if they hand out condoms to Catholic pilgrims.
Civil Libertarians have already revealed they plan to challenge the special police powers for the event, which allow officers to arrest and fine people for "annoying" behaviour.
Protestors claim they're being intimidated from making their point heard.
The controversial police powers will be challenged in court.
Rachel Evans from the No-To-Pope-Coalition says protestors won't be intimidated by the powers.
“We would like the state government to appeal these laws, we would like the state government to come out and say that we have a right to protest.
“We would like that statement to come out in the next couple of days, sooner rather than later.”
