BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The images in the Basra police
file are nauseating: Page after page of women killed
in brutal fashion -- some strangled to death, their
faces disfigured; others beheaded. All bear signs of
torture.
The women are killed, police say, because they failed
to wear a headscarf or because they ignored other
"rules" that secretive fundamentalist groups want to
enforce.
"Fear, fear is always there," says 30-year-old Safana,
an artist and university professor. "We don't know who
to be afraid of. Maybe it's a friend or a student you
teach. There is no break, no security. I don't know
who to be afraid of."
Her fear is justified. Iraq's second-largest city,
Basra, is a stronghold of conservative Shia groups. As
many as 133 women were killed in Basra last year -- 79
for violation of "Islamic teachings" and 47 for
so-called honor killings, according to IRIN, the news
branch of the U.N.'s Office for the Coordination of
Humanitarian Affairs.
One glance through the police file is enough to
understand the consequences. Basra's police chief,
Gen. Abdul Jalil Khalaf, flips through the file,
pointing to one unsolved case after another.

"I think so far, we have been unable to tackle this
problem properly," he says. "There are many motives
for these crimes and parties involved in killing
women, by strangling, beheading, chopping off their
hands, legs, heads."
"When I came to Basra a year ago," he says, "two women
were killed in front of their kids. Their blood was
flowing in front of their kids, they were crying.
Another woman was killed in front of her 6-year-old
son, another in front of her 11-year-old child, and
yet another who was pregnant."
The killers enforcing their own version of Islamic
justice are rarely caught, while women live in fear.
Boldly splattered in red paint just outside the main
downtown market, a chilling sign reads: "We warn
against not wearing a headscarf and wearing makeup.
Those who do not abide by this will be punished. God
is our witness, we have notified you."
The attacks on the women of Basra have intensified
since British forces withdrew to their base at the
airport back in September, police say. Iraqi security
forces took over after British troops pulled back, but
are heavily infiltrated by militias.
And tracking the perpetrators of these crimes is
nearly impossible, Khalaf says, adding that he doesn't
have control of the thousands of policemen and
officers.
"We're trying to trace crimes carried out by an
anonymous enemy," he says.
Amnesty International has raised concern about the
increasing violence toward women in Iraq, saying
abductions, rapes and "honor killings" are on the
rise.
"Politically active women, those who did not follow a
strict dress code, and women [who are] human rights
defenders were increasingly at risk of abuses,
including by armed groups and religious extremists,"
Amnesty said in a 2007 report.
Sometimes, it's just the color of a woman's headscarf
that can draw unwanted attention.
"One time, one of my female colleagues commented on
the color of my headscarf," Safana says. "She said it
would draw attention ... [and I should] avoid it and
stick to colors like gray, brown and black."
This extremist ideology enrages many secular Muslim
women, who say it's a misrepresentation of Islam.
Sawsan, another woman who works at a university, says
the message from the radicals to women is simple:
"They seem to be sending us a message to stay at home
and keep your mouth shut."
After the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003, Sawsan says,
the situation was "the best." But now, she says, it's
"the worst."
"We thought there would be freedom and democracy and
women would have their rights. But all the things we
were promised have not come true. There is only fear
and horror."
