They didn't break the law - they were born into that country as gay people or whatever and then murdered for it. It isnt a case of 'Well they knew the punishment..'. There was nothing they could do to avoid it.
They were homosexuals, and they were murdered for it. I'm sorry but I don't give a stuff which country it is, we are on the same planet and that is barbaric and completely wrong.
They can deal with their theives etc etc etc however they like - those people make a choice to nick something or assault somebody. But you dont chose your sexuality so hanging two CHILDREN for being gay is just... it's deplorable.
It's nothing like a bank robber using the same line.
Imagine it was illegal to have blue eyes. You were born, with blue eyes, and on your 17th birthday you were told you were going to be hung becuase your eyes are blue. Would you think that was acceptable? Would you think 'Well, its their laws I guess, sucks to be me, never mind'?
