If you truly want to make it better, the solution is not to bring it up in response to external criticisms, where it lessens the impact of both, but in context where it can be assessed in semi-isolation, to preserve forward momentum of both subjects.
What you've done here, whether on purpose or accident, is partake in a variant of whataboutism. The only people it helps are those against progress in both situations.

I'm just highlighting endless bikeshedding, imo human right violations just don't always have very much to do with the political system of a country. As such changing the political system in a country doesn't make all the human right violations magically disappear.
