An Afghan migrant has denied threatening to kill Nigel Farage and sending offensive TikTok videos while making his journey to the UK.
Fayaz Khan allegedly made threats against the Reform UK leader and other social media users between October 12 and 15 last year, Westminster Magistrates' Court heard on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old is accused of posting his threats online as he chronicled his journey from Afghanistan to Britain, a previous hearing was told.
He allegedly said he would come to England to “find Mr Farage to make him stop talking about him" and then is said to have used his fingers to imitate a gun in the video.
Khan is also charged with sending a grossly offensive TikTok video between the same dates in October.
He was arrested last year when he arrived in the UK on a small boat.
Prosecutor Maham Malik told the court on Wednesday that the defendant had previously pleaded not guilty to one count of making threats to kill at Southwark Crown Court on July 24.
A provisional trial for the charge has been fixed at Southwark Crown Court for October 7.
Khan, who appeared in the dock wearing a grey tracksuit, spoke only to confirm his identity without an interpreter.
He pleaded not guilty to the second new charge of sending a grossly offensive TikTok video between October 12 and 15, 2024 during the brief hearing.
The defendant, of no fixed address, was remanded in custody to next appear at Southwark Crown Court for a further court appearance on August 27.
