During #Iran's #1988Massacre, Farsi was taken to the Death Corridor four times and faced the Death Commission twice.

During this period, he saw Hamid Noury several times as he played an active role in taking prisoners for execution.

The Death Commission was acting on the direct orders of the regime's then supreme leader Ruhollah Khomeini, who had issued a fatwa that stated anyone who continues to support the MEK is an enemy of God and deserves to die.

While in the Death Corridor, Farsi met several prisoners who said they went to the Death Commission and presented themselves as supporters of the MEK. They were all executed.
“Hamid Abbasi and two or three other guards guided the prisoners to the Death Hall.”

The Death Hall was a warehouse where prisoners were hanged in groups during the #1988Massacre. As one group was hanged, prison authorities forced others to watch until their turn to have the noose thrown around their neck.

One night prison guards entered Farsi's cell and began him, demanding that he insult #Iran opposition PMOI/MEK leaders. Prison guards told him he will be executed after informing Farsi that they had executed his brother, Hassan, in Tehran's Evin prison.

Farsi was taken to the Death Corridor. Around noon, Hamid Noury & two other guards came & read the names of around 20 people.

“When he finished reading the names, he laughed... And then took them to the [Death Hall]," Farsi added.
