What you are looking at in those images is a form of punishment called falaka or bastinado Where instead of stokes across the buttocks as in more Western forms of punishment, the soles of the offender’s feet get wrapped hard with a cane or other physical pain infliction device and believe me it hurts like the fires of Hell.
Americans always like using a wooden paddle on an offending school student’s rear end, the British preferred a cane across the rear, and the Muslims, while still using a cane, in addition to using on a person’s butt also reserved the right to use it on the soles of the feet of anyone deemed deserving of corporal punishment.
