Afghan Migrant Gets 5 Years for TikTok Death Threat to Farage
- On Tuesday, Fayaz Khan, defendant, was sentenced at Southwark Crown Court to five years for threatening to kill Reform UK leader Nigel Farage in a widely viewed TikTok clip.
- After entering the UK, prosecutors said Khan hid his Swedish record and gave false details while crossing on a small boat with 65 migrants on October 31.
- The video featured gestures and an AK-47 tattoo as Khan mimicked `pop pop pop`, used gun gestures, headbutted the camera, and responded to a YouTube video by Nigel Farage.
- Mrs Justice Steyn said the clip was a deliberate threat, stating `This was a threat to kill Nigel Farage, made with the intent that Nigel Farage would fear it would be carried out` and Nigel Farage described the footage as `pretty chilling`.
- Farage attended the sentencing in person, sitting about one foot away from Khan with only clear screens between them, while Khan faces Swedish proceedings and a six-month sentence for knife possession.
