Afghan man jailed for five years for TikTok threat to kill Nigel Farage
"Englishman Nigel, don't talk shit about me. You not know me. I come to England because I want to marry with your sister. You not know me. Don't talk about me more. Delete the video. I'm coming to England. I'm going to pop, pop, pop."
"the journey of an illegal migrant"
"pretty chilling."
Fayaz Khan, 26, an Afghan national who arrived in the UK on a small boat, was sentenced to five years in prison for making a threat to kill Nigel Farage in a TikTok video dated 14 October 2024. Khan was also sentenced for entering the UK illegally after pleading guilty to that offence. The sentencing took place at Southwark Crown Court following a recent trial conviction. Nigel Farage had uploaded a YouTube video on 12 October titled "the journey of an illegal migrant" that referenced young males of fighting age. Khan responded two days later with a video containing direct threats, gun gestures, headbutting the camera, and pointing to an AK-47 tattoo on his face. Farage attended the hearing with security guards and sat in front of reporters.
