Homosexual acts have been considered a capital crime in Iran since the 1979 revolution that brought the Ayatollah Khomeini to power. Iranians found guilty of gay lovemaking are given a choice of four death styles: being hanged, stoned, halved by a sword or dropped from the highest perch.

Seems straightforward ...

While the punishment may be harsh by some standards. The Iranians do seem to protect the offenders right to choose.
