an afghan migrant A man who came to Britain in small boats has been found guilty of making threats to kill Nigel Farage But tiktok,
Fayyaz Khan, 26, had shared a video between October 12 and 15 last year in which he claimed he wanted to come to England to “marry” the politician’s sister, and made a gun gesture while saying “pop, pop, pop”.
During his trial at Southwark Crown Court, The Reform UK leader said the post was “quite exciting”.He added, “Given his proximity to guns and his love for guns, I was really concerned”.
Nicholas Coates of the Crown Prosecution Service said he hoped the sentence “sends a clear message” and stressed that “elected politicians should be able to do their job free from fear of harm or abuse, and we will ensure that those who seek to intimidate them face the full force of the law.”
He said, “Khan has already been charged with coming to Britain illegally, we were determined to bring him to justice for his threats against Nigel Farage.”

Jurors were told that Khan had a “huge online presence” with his videos on TikTok under the username “Madapasa” receiving hundreds of thousands of views.
In autumn last year, they filmed his attempts to come to the UK “by small boat” – the defendant had been living in Stockholm, Sweden since 2019.
On October 12 last year, Mr Farage uploaded a video to YouTube titled “Illegal Migrant’s Journey”, which highlighted Khan and made reference to “the young men of fighting age coming into our country about whom we know very little”.
Prosecutors said Khan responded on October 14 with a video, which was shown to the jury, in which Khan is seen saying: “Englishman Nigel, don’t talk nonsense about me.
“You don’t know me. I have come to England because I want to marry your sister. You don’t know me.”
“Don’t talk about me too much. Take the video down. I’m coming to England. I’m going to pop, pop, pop.”
Prosecutor Peter Ratliff told jurors that when Khan said “pop, pop, pop”, he made “gun gestures with his hand”, as well as headbutting the camera during the video, and pointing to the AK47 tattoo on his face to “emphasise that he was not joking”.
Mr Faraz said: “He says he is coming to England and he will shoot me.
“I understood it very clearly indeed, as did many people who saw it at the same time.”
The right-wing politician said: “In high-profile politics, a lot of nasty things are posted. A lot of nasty things are said.
“What you don’t see is that someone says on social media that they’re coming directly for you and the second thing is what medium they will do it through.”
Asked by the prosecution about the reference to his sister, Mr Farage said: “I’m not sure he wanted to marry my sister, you might draw a different conclusion from that.”
Asked by defense lawyer Charles Royal whether he was concerned that Khan “wants to marry” his sister, Mr Farage said: “Really, are you serious? It says a lot about the mentality of this man.
“I was concerned that there was a man who apparently views women as mere objects and that he could be a danger to them on our streets.”
Mr Faraz said the comments were “deeply misogynistic”.
Jurors were shown a screenshot of a subsequent TikTok post by Khan, titled “I mean what I say”, with the caption written over an image of a GB News report about an alleged threat against Mr Farage.
In a police interview on November 1 last year, Khan said through an interpreter that he had attempted to come to the UK “10 times” and was in Dunkirk, France, when he recorded the video in which he is accused of threatening to kill Mr Farage.
Khan told police: “I’ve come here because I want to be here. I want a new life. I’ve not come here because I want to kill Nigel Farage.”
He also said that he was smoking cannabis and was “intoxicated” when he posted the video.
