Overview
- He was sentenced at Southwark Crown Court after a jury conviction last week for making a threat to kill, with a concurrent sentence for illegal entry.
- In the video shown to jurors, Fayaz Khan said he would go “pop, pop, pop,” made gun gestures, and pointed to an AK‑47 tattoo on his face.
- Prosecutors said he used the TikTok handle “madapasa,” amassed hundreds of thousands of views, livestreamed his Channel crossing, and was arrested on 31 October after arriving by small boat.
- Court disclosures said Swedish authorities believe he is actually Fayaz Husseini, about 31, with 17 convictions there; the judge said he gave a false identity to hide that record, and an extradition request from Sweden has been withdrawn.
- Farage welcomed the maximum‑scale term and raised concerns about possible release in roughly 18 months, while reporting noted the sentence makes Khan liable to deportation under UK law.
