Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged London police to use the "full force of the law" against them.
GOV'T BACKS POLICE
Lawyers supporting Extinction Rebellion have been granted an emergency high court hearing in regards to the Met Police "ban" over the groups protests. The case will have a directions hearing starting on Thursday.
In response, British Home Secretary Priti Patel on Wednesday issued a powerful defense of Scotland Yard's handling of the environmental protests, saying that she wanted to make it clear to police officers that "I have their backs."
The "much more robust" police force response had been justified because of the tactics used by the climate change protesters over the past week.
Strong defense is also from a British government spokesman, who said, "While we share people's concerns about global warming, and respect the right to peaceful protest, it should not disrupt people's day-to-day lives."
