"some people pretend to care about human rights, but they really only do so when it helps their agendas."

Yeah. ;-) That is the standard routine just about everywhere and with just about everyone (specially politicians and political commentators). It's an old story. If drawing attention to crime and injustice serves their cause, they will yell about it all the livelong day. If it doesn't, they will either ignore it or deny that it is even happening or make excuses for why it should be happening.
