complain at

English as a Second Language English Vocabulary, Grammar and Idioms

Hi,
“Human rights groups have complained at the beating or murder of journalists who have tried to uncover wrongdoing by Russian authorities.”
– You expect ‘complain’ being followed by ‘of/about’, don’t you? (Big dictionaries don’t list ‘at’ as a compatible preposition, with examples galore in BNC though.) So you may use it interchangeably along with ‘about’?
Thank you.
