Police have been urged to intervene after a replica of a mosque was placed on top of a loyalist bonfire pyre in Co Tyrone.
The model was visible on top of the pyre in Moygashel on Thursday.
Signs saying “Secure our borders” and “End the threat of radical Islam” have also been placed on the fire which is made up of pallets and is due to be set alight on Friday night.
Ammesty International described it as a “vile display” and a “blatant attempt to stir up anti-Muslim hatred and intimidate local families”.
The same bonfire site has attracted controversy in previous years.
Last year there was condemnation after effigies of migrants in a boat were burned on the Moygashel fire.
Patrick Corrigan, Amnesty International’s Northern Ireland director, said: “This vile display is a blatant attempt to stir up anti-Muslim hatred and intimidate local families.
“It must be met with a decisive response by the police.
“The placing of an effigy of a mosque on top of a bonfire amounts to incitement to hatred directed at real people who live, work and raise families in Northern Ireland.
“It is a crime under Northern Ireland law to distribute materials that are intended or likely to stir up racial or religious hatred or arouse fear.
“The police must investigate this as a potential crime, identify and hold to account those responsible, and ensure this material is swiftly removed before it can be used to incite further hatred and violence.”
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has been contacted for comment.
SDLP councillor Carl Whyte described the display on the bonfire as “absolutely disgusting”.
He told the BBC Good Morning Ulster programme: “The singling out of an entire religion, an entire faith, is just shameful.”
Eleventh night bonfires will be lit across Northern Ireland on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings ahead of the Orange Order’s July 12 parades on Monday.
While most of the bonfires pass off without incident, several have become the focus of contention due to the placing of flags, effigies and election posters on the structures before they are ignited.
Last month in Moygashel, police removed a banner from a children’s playpark, saying it was being treated as a hate crime.
