It is best to be patient and not complain. However, it is permissible to complain about injustice to someone who is able to remove it, based on the Almighty's saying: "Allah does not like the public utterance of bad words, except by one who has been wronged." It is also permissible for the wronged person to supplicate against the oppressor.
