Indonesian police fatally shot dozens of petty criminals in a deliberate campaign of "unnecessary and excessive" force before the Asian Games, Amnesty International says.
The rights group says 31 of the police killings it recorded from media reports between January and August were directly linked to street-crime crackdowns for the games being hosted in Jakarta and Palembang.
Police shot dead 77 petty criminals across Indonesia during the same period, a large increase from 2017, it says.
Police were criticised last month when they said they had killed 11 street thugs in Jakarta in less than two weeks.
They were among 52 suspected criminals shot in the capital for resisting arrest.
Amnesty official Usman Hamid says hosting an international sports event "must not come at the price of abandoning human rights" and has called for all deaths to be promptly investigated.
The spokesman for Indonesia's national police did not return calls or text messages.
About 12,000 athletes from 45 nations and territories are competing in the 18th games, which open on Saturday.
