Overview

• Nigel Farage testified at Southwark Crown Court that he was genuinely worried by Fayaz Khan’s video, describing it as “pretty chilling.”
• Prosecutors say Khan addressed “Englishman Nigel,” made hand gestures like a gun, said “pop, pop, pop,” displayed an AK‑47 face tattoo, and posted content suggesting access to firearms.
• Khan has pleaded not guilty and told police he did not mean he would shoot Farage, claiming an “agent” asked him to record a message and that he did not know who Farage was.
• The case stems from Farage’s Oct. 12, 2024 YouTube video using Khan’s journey clips, followed two days later by Khan’s TikTok response and his Channel crossing about two weeks after.
• The trial is underway in London before Mrs Justice Steyn, with Khan assisted by a Dari interpreter, and is scheduled to last four days.
