TikToker from Afghanistan threatened Farage with death

A British court is hearing the case of 26-year-old Afghan asylum seeker Fayaz Khan, known on TikTok as Mada Pasa, who is accused of threatening to kill Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage, reports GB News.

Khan allegedly made the threats in October 2023 after Farage posted a video on YouTube about his journey to the UK in a small boat.

In response, the Afghan filmed a TikTok video in which he told Farage in vulgar terms that he would “come to England to get his sister” and used hand gestures to imply that he would shoot him.

In court, the defendant communicated through an interpreter, gave only his name, and pleaded not guilty. Farage testified that he found the video “frightening.”

The prosecutor pointed out that Khan had previously posted videos with weapons and that his behavior, according to the indictment, constituted a death threat.
