An Afghan man accused of threatening to kill Nigel Farage while he travelled to the UK has appeared in court.<\/p>\n
Fayaz Khan, 25, is alleged to have posted a video on TikTok in October, where he made a gun gesture and told the Reform party leader he was going to “pop pop”, Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard.<\/p>\n
Mr Khan, of no fixed address, is also charged with persistently making use of public communication networks to cause annoyance, inconvenience and anxiety.<\/p>\n
The accused did not enter a plea when the charges were listed and was remanded into custody to appear at Southwark Crown Court on 13 May.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The court heard Mr Khan also faces a separate charge of entering the country illegally. He was arrested last year on his arrival to the UK.<\/p>\n
He is currently detained at HMP Elmley in Kent.<\/p>\n
David Burns, prosecuting, said Mr Khan posted a video and confirmed he would come to England, where he “states he will find Mr Farage to make him stop talking about him”.<\/p>\n
Mr Burns alleged that Mr Khan used his fingers to imitate a gun and went “pop pop” in this video.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
