The Hong Kong government says election authorities have disqualified 12 candidates for the Legislative Council election scheduled for September. Those candidates are all from the pro-democracy camp.
The government made the announcement on Thursday, one day before candidacy registration closes.
It says the 12 nominees were barred because they are advocating Hong Kong independence, soliciting intervention of foreign governments in Hong Kong affairs, and expressing an objection to the national security law for Hong Kong.
Hong Kong media say the candidates include not only pro-democracy leader Joshua Wong and other activists who have made a clear stand against Beijing, but also moderate pro-democracy party members.
Registration of candidacy began on July 18, with the voting scheduled for September 6.
The government says it does not rule out the possibility that more nominations would be invalidated.
The move is the latest by Hong Kong authorities to tighten grip on opposition forces under China's national security law for the territory that took effect on June 30.
The pro-democracy forces, who aim to clinch a majority in the Legislative Council, lashed out at the decision.
Joshua Wong tweeted, "Clearly, Beijing shows a total disregard for the will of the Hongkongers, tramples upon the city's last pillar of vanishing autonomy and attempts to keep HK's legislature under its firm grip."
He also wrote, "However, in order to safeguard the city's future, HKers will not surrender. Our resistance will continue on and we hope the world can stand with us in the upcoming uphill battle."

The head of the World Health Organization says some European countries have seen a resurgence in coronavirus cases partly because young people are not taking the risk seriously enough.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was speaking at a news conference in Geneva on Thursday.
Cluster infections have occurred among young people who gathered at beaches or night clubs in the summer break in Spain, France, and other parts of Europe.
The WHO head said, "Evidence suggests that spikes of cases in some countries are being driven in part by younger people letting down their guard during the northern hemisphere summer."
Tedros added, "Young people are not invincible. Young people can be infected; young people can die; and young people can transmit the virus to others."
He called on young people to take anti-infection measures, such as wearing face masks and avoiding crowds of people.
The WHO's technical chief for coronavirus responses, Maria Van Kerkhove, also spoke at the news conference.
She said some of those who have recovered from coronavirus symptoms have longer-term effects, including extreme fatigue, shortness of breath, and difficulty in resuming normal activities, such as going to the gym and returning to work.
She said the WHO has reached out to some of those patients to determine the causes of the longer-term effects and explore effective methods of rehabilitation and longer-term care.

America's top tech giants have reported healthy profits, even while the US economy shrank by nearly a third due to the coronavirus pandemic. The earnings results for Amazon.com, Apple, Facebook and Google's parent company cover the April-to-June quarter.
Amazon posted the highest profits in its 26-year-history. Sales shot up 40 percent compared to the same quarter last year. Apple and Facebook saw sales rise by 11 percent. Yet revenue fell at Google's parent company, Alphabet.
Officials say the companies' business thrived as the pandemic forced many people to work from home, while they spent more of their leisure time playing video games and streaming TV and movies.
Amazon is predicting its strong results to continue into the current quarter with a jump in sales of over 30 percent.
The tech giants' leaders faced lawmakers the day before their earnings came out. During the hearing, they were accused of abusing their market dominance to destroy rivals.
