Overview

• Jurors at Southwark Crown Court returned a 10–2 majority guilty verdict after deliberating for about 11 hours and 55 minutes.
• Khan’s response video said he was coming to England to go “pop, pop, pop,” featured gun‑hand gestures, and showed an AK‑47 tattoo on his face.
• Nigel Farage testified that he was genuinely worried and described the video as “pretty chilling.”
• The defence said Khan was performing a character for attention; he did not give evidence at trial, told police it was not a real threat, and has already pleaded guilty to illegal entry after arriving by small boat.
• The Crown Prosecution Service said the case reinforces that elected politicians must work free from fear or abuse, and the court listed sentencing for Tuesday, 14 October.
