Afghan migrant charged with threatening Nigel Farage in court

Fayaz Khan, a 26-year-old Afghan migrant, has appeared in Westminster Magistrates' Court facing charges of threatening to kill Nigel Farage, the leader of the Reform Party, via a TikTok video. Allegedly filmed while traveling from Afghanistan to the UK, Khan made a gun gesture and said 'pop pop,' expressing intentions to confront Farage about his comments. Prosecutor David Burns detailed that Khan, who has a Kalashnikov tattoo on his face, posted multiple videos threatening Farage and indicating he would come to England to 'stop talking about him.' Khan did not enter a plea and is currently remanded in custody, with a follow-up court appearance scheduled at Southwark Crown Court. Farage has stated that the videos caused him significant distress. The court proceedings are set against a backdrop of increasing scrutiny on public threats made through social media platforms.
