It doesnt matter that Gomes didnt face a fair trial. NK gets to run its country how it sees fit, and Gomes knew that going in. The hikers, however, did nothing wrong. And its not a criminal offence to "put the us in a unfavorable political position".

How do you know the hikers did nothing wrong, were you there? It doesnt matter that the hikers are being detained indefiniately. Iran gets to run its country how it sees fit, and these hikers knew that when they decided it would be a great idea to hike along their heavily patrolled (and often disputed) border.
