IF this happened in Singapore or God forbid an Arab nation they would be lucky to only be caned in public.
In Iran they would stone them.
In Afghanistan they would chop their right hand off.
In Saudi Arabia they would be throw in prison.
If I were dictator of my own little obscure country I would take pleasure in personally executing them.
I would not allow lowly functionaries to have all the fun.

That’s why they don’t do it there. They know they can get away with it in the US and Western Europe. Only way to get them to stop is to make it unpleasant for them.
