Authorities in Hong Kong have indicted three prodemocracy lawmakers for their alleged roles in a series of scuffles at a Legislative Council meeting in May.
Police arrested and indicted Eddie Chu and two other lawmakers for allegedly obstructing efforts to deliberate changes to an extradition bill.
Hong Kong's prodemocracy camp says police are planning to arrest four more lawmakers, bringing the total to seven.
Critics warn the move is an attempt to sow confusion in the run-up to a District Council election that's scheduled for November 24. Four of the seven lawmakers are planning to run for positions on the council.
The election has become a key battleground in the escalating confrontation between pro-democracy and pro-Beijing lawmakers.
The pro-democracy camp issued a statement that said the indictments are part of a plot to create confusion by fanning anger, and ultimately undermine the District Council election.
There's growing speculation the government will cite confusion as a pretext to postpone or cancel the vote.
Elsewhere in Hong Kong, people are planning vigils on Saturday evening for a university student who died on Friday in a police crackdown on a protest.
Key words : police begun bedside

NHK has learned that police have begun a bedside interrogation of the suspect in a deadly arson attack that claimed the lives of dozens of people and left the suspect hospitalized with burns to his entire body.
Investigative sources say Shinji Aoba has recovered enough to answer questions about the July fire at Kyoto Animation studio.
The blaze killed 36 people and injured 33 others. Police obtained an arrest warrant for 41-year-old Aoba on suspicion of arson and murder and have been waiting for him to recover.
The sources say Aoba admitted to the charges and repeated what he reportedly shouted as he left the scene of the attack -- that he set fire to the studio because he believed it had stolen material from a novel he wrote.
Aoba has reportedly told hospital workers that he expects to be sentenced to death.
The suspect sent two novels to Kyoto Animation. The company said the novels did not pass preliminary screening because they were not sent in the correct format. It has denied there is any resemblance between material in his novels and the studio's works.
Police plan to arrest Aoba when he recovers further.

Japanese ministers and government officials have taken part in a drill simulating an accident at a nuclear power plant caused by a massive earthquake.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and some of his ministers gathered at his office on Saturday for the exercise, which was based on a scenario involving the No. 2 reactor at the Shimane nuclear power plant in western Japan.
The simulation hypothesized that the reactor had lost its cooling functions after the quake cut access to external power sources.
Abe declared a state of emergency and urged people living near the plant to calmly evacuate or take shelter in buildings.
The ministers then held a video conference with officials from municipalities around the plant.
Abe instructed them to prioritize the safety of residents and quickly bring the situation under control.
He also instructed them to cooperate closely with other relevant officials so that they could adapt quickly to changing circumstances.

US health officials say they may have identified the substance responsible for an outbreak of a mysterious e-cigarette-related lung disease.
More than 2,000 cases have been reported in the US. 39 people have died.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, announced on Friday that it had found vitamin E acetate in lung fluid samples of 29 patients.
Vitamin E acetate is an additive sometimes used in products containing THC, a component of cannabis. The CDC says THC or its metabolites were found in 23 of the samples. Twenty of the patients told researchers they had used THC products in e-cigarettes.
The CDC calls the finding a breakthrough in identifying the cause of the illness.
E-cigarettes are battery-powered devices used to inhale vapors from fluids that contain nicotine and other ingredients. Their use is becoming increasingly popular, mainly among young people.
Some fluids contain substances from cannabis extracts, including THC. The illegal sale and use of these products have become a social problem in the US.
