There is nothing wrong with speaking out about (perceived) mistreatment and nothing written in scripture against it.

No there isn't but Jesus certainly wouldn't have failed to succour those that despised and persecuted him.Indeed it was his tale of the Good Samaritan than underlines that fact and I'm surprised that a cardinal would think it appropriate to suggest that withholding aid in such a way was a good Christian idea.
However offering aid and speaking out against a persons/country's behaviour to certain factions/religious groups is quite right and correct..
