Police spokesman Patrick Pulh told Reuters three South Korean activists wanting to take part in the demonstration and other protests and workshops during the conference had been refused entry to Switzerland at Geneva airport on instructions from the federal government in Berne.
Yoon Geum Sum, of the Korean Women Peasant Association, one of the groups organising the protests, said the three had been stripped and body-searched.
"This is a violation of human rights and a criminalisation of social movements. Our demand is their immediate release and an apology from the Swiss government," she said in a statement.
The last major demonstration in Geneva was in January during the World Economic Forum conference in Davos, when police fired tear gas and water cannon to disperse demonstrators.
