Posters and banners lie on the street as exiled Iranians protest if front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, July 30, 2009. Demonstrators demanding the international community to take action after Iraqi forces took control of Camp Ashraf, north of Baghdad. Iraq's government denied that any Iranian exiles had been killed in clashes with security forces when they seized control of their camp, but residents said eight had died and distributed images of bodies. Iraqi forces took control on Tuesday of Camp Ashraf, north of Baghdad, which for two decades has been home to members of the People's Mujahideen of Iran (PMOI), a dissident group. The Iraqi government has said it will close the camp and expel its 3,500 residents back to Iran or to a third country. REUTERS/Pawel Kopczynski (GERMANY POLITICS CONFLICT)
