The discussion was about article 47 of the code of criminal procedure. <br \/>  <br \/>  Loosely translated, the conversation went as follows:<br \/>  <br \/>  Minister Najem: &#8220;We need to remove this sentence from above.&#8221;<br \/>  <br \/>  *MP Ferzli, interrupting*<br \/>  <br \/>  MP Ferzli: &#8220;Remove it from the top and put it in the bottom.&#8221; Then he laughs.<br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/60789.png\"><br \/>  <br \/>  Aside from the lack of basic conversational skills that dictate we steer clear from interrupting others, Ferzli&#8217;s interruption was a disgusting sexist remark with sexual innuendo to make the minister uncomfortable. Would he have asked a man to &#8220;remove it from the top and put it in the bottom&#8221;?<br \/>  <br \/>  Worst part is that Ferzli is the deputy speaker of the parliament, i.e. he holds the second highest ranking position in the parliament. <br \/>  <br \/>  How can we expect change in a country led by people like Ferzli?<br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>      <figure
