I don't understand why people say this. Human rights abuses are "politics"? Why is this politics?

Kind reminds me how un-Interneted Chinese people categorize things:

- Say China did something bad: "That's political and with intention to 'slander' China, so we shouldn't talk about that"

- Supreme leader changed the national constitution so he can basically be a emperor: "Oh that's an internal adjustment of power, and btw we shouldn't talk about that"

Politics is the negotiation of power. Aren’t human rights abuses inherently related to matters of power?
