According to Daily Mail, the women are publicly whipped for wearing undergarments, as it is deceptive and violate Islam.

The insurgent group Al Shabaab has sent gunmen into the streets of Mogadishu to identify any women who appear to have a firm bust, said the residents.

The women are then inspected to see if the firmness is natural or the result of wearing a bra, reports Courier Mail.
