But notice that the "crime" here is fornication. A "crime", let me observe, which comes with its own punishment already.

And why does the one carrying out the punishment wear a balaclava? Afraid of reprisals maybe?
 
I dunno if the law actually states that.

According to Wikipedia, that's the case. What's more, these officers are apparently trained specifically for the caning role, I presume in order to cause more damage.

Of course, the validity of any given statement on Wikipedia can be questionable.
