Former U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) speaks during a protest outside the United Nations (U.N.) during a U.N. Security Council meeting on July 16, 2013 in New York City. The protest centered around the recent attacks against exiled Iranian dissidents living in Iraq. Members of The People&#39;s Mujahedeen of Iran (MEK) have been living in Camp Ashraf and Camp Camp Liberty, both in Iraq; the protesters allege that the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq has not done enough to protect the exiled dissidents from the recent attacks.
