Migrant who threatened to kill Nigel Farage mocks UK from jail | UK | News
An Afghan migrant who was jailed last year for making death threats against Nigel Farage has reappeared on social media with a rant from his prison cell. Fayaz Khan, who sports an AK47 trattoo on his face has been posting from behind bars using the name Madapasa.
The migrant had documented his travel to England and subsequently made threats against Farage online. His initial post threatening Farage was made in October 2024, where Khan pointed at his tattoo, made a gun gesture with his hand, and named the Reform UK leader. Khan has continued to document his life behind bars and Farage has since called for the man to be deported.
Speaking to The Sun, Farage said: “This menace shouldnโt even be in our country, let alone in our prisons. He should be deported immediately.” Prosecutors at the time of the court case argued Khan’s mannerisms in the video, which included saying “pop pop pop” to mimic gunfire, were a genuine threat against Farage.
The Reform UK leader said he was “genuinely worried” by what he described as “pretty chilling” footage. Khan was found guilty of making threats to kill Farage and jailed for five years.
Prison bosses were made aware of the most recent post and it has since been taken down. The Ministry of Justice said: โThese videos have now been removed. Having a phone behind bars is unacceptable and those who break the rules can face longer in prison.”
Speaking at the time of the trial, Farage said he only found out about Khan’s threat because somebody had forwarded the TikTok post to him.
During sentencing, Khan’s barrister said the defendant wanted to apologise to Farage and his sister “for any offence and upset caused”.
Nicholas Coates, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said at the time: “Khan not only entered the UK illegally โ but made sinister threats against a Member of Parliament in plain view of thousands of followers.
“Elected politicians must be able to carry out their jobs free from the fear of harm or abuse, and we will make sure that those who seek to intimidate them face the full force of the law.”
The Ministry of Justice said: โThese videos have now been removed.
โHaving a phone behind bars is unacceptable and those who break the rules can face longer in prisonโ.
