When a character commits an evil act and you want to frame it as evil, there are different ways to acknowledge it.

Describe it from the perspective of the victim. When the reader is confronted with the emotional results from the evil act, they will sympathize.
Have the perpetrator condemn the act themselves and have them feel remorse.
When that would be out-of-character (they are so evil they wouldn't feel remorse), have them rationalize it in a way which is obviously morally flawed.
Have a 3rd character who learns of the act condemn it.
