Migrant who threatened Farage jailed
Western Mail
|October 15, 2025
A SMALL boat migrant who threatened on TikTok to kill Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has been jailed for five years.
Afghan national Fayaz Khan, whose real name is Fayaz Hosseini, made the threat last October in a video that Mr Farage and a High Court judge described as "pretty chilling".
Mr Farage said he was "happy with the win" following the sentencing hearing at Southwark Crown Court yesterday but said he was "deeply, deeply concerned" Khan would freed in 18 months. The politician attended the sentencing hearing with security guards and sat in front of reporters.
Khan shouted at Mr Farage as he was taken down to the cells after the hearing - accusing him of wanting to "use me because you want to be prime minister".
The migrant was found guilty of making threats to kill following a trial last week, after previously pleading guilty to attempting to enter the UK illegally.
