Convicted members of the group contacted by the newspaper 24 Heures, said they planned to challenge their convictions in court.
In addition, the newspaper mentioned a possible protest at Geneva Airport on Saturday 16 November 2019, however any plans for an airport protest by the group remain unconfirmed and unclear.
According to the news website Heidi.news, close to 100 Swiss academics support the group, which advocates non-violent protest.
