Nigel Farage said Fayaz Khan’s video, in which he threatened to shoot him, was “pretty chilling”

Overview

  • Fayaz Khan was sentenced at Southwark Crown Court after a 10–2 jury conviction for threats to kill, with an additional sentence for illegal entry.
  • Jurors were shown a TikTok video in which Khan said "pop, pop, pop," made gun gestures, and pointed to an AK‑47 tattoo, which the judge called a threat to kill with a firearm.
  • Khan arrived on a small boat, livestreamed his English Channel crossing, and was arrested on October 31 after entering UK waters with dozens of other migrants.
  • He gave police the name Fayaz Khan, 26, but prosecutors said Swedish records identify him as Fayaz Husseini, 31, with 17 convictions across 12 incidents.
  • Nigel Farage called the video "pretty chilling" and urged deportation to Sweden, where reporting says Khan faces a separate December court hearing.
