Migrant with AK-47 face tattoo who threatened to kill Farage shouts from dock as he's jailed
An Afghan migrant who came to the UK on a small boat has been jailed for five years after posting a TikTok video in which he threatened to kill Reform UK leader Nigel Farage.
Hundreds of thousands of viewers saw the "chilling" video Fayaz Khan, 26, posted last October, in which Southwark Crown Court heard he threatened to "pop pop pop" Mr Farage. As he was sentenced, Khan yelled to the court that Mr Farage had initiated proceedings to "use me because you want to be prime minister".
As he was taken down to the cells, he again shouted: "You want to be prime minister, I am not here because I want to kill you. "I want to go back to Afghanistan, send me back to Afghanistan, my family is in Afghanistan.
"You want to use me because you want to be prime minister. "Just because you want to do that you want to f*** my life, you want to put me in prison." Outside the court, Mr Farage welcomed the sentence but said he was "deeply deeply concerned" Khan would be "out in 18 months".
He added: "This violent criminal... will be in this country, living in a house of multiple occupancy or a hotel, free to walk the streets whilst his asylum claim is judged." 'Don't talk s***' Jurors had been told the TikTok content was posted in response to a video Mr Farage had uploaded to YouTube titled "the journey of an illegal migrant.
