My take on this is probably going to be very unpopular but it is my opinion. The law in Iran says that the penalty for participating in homosexual activities is death. these two young men knowingly violated that law, and got caught. I don't think the law is just, but it is the law. I don't see it as tragic, or sad, or anything like that. They made choices and suffered the consequences. If heterosexual activities were illegal in the US and the penalty was death, and I chose to participate in said activities, I'd expect to be put to death if I got caught. I don't think I'd commit the crime knowing I could be put to death for it.
