Afghan who threatened to kill Nigel Farage on run from Swedish Police

Where are the details of his crimes in Sweden? Just asking because the BBC mentions that Khan had 17 previous convictions in Sweden, including for carrying a knife, threatening behaviour and vandalism. Nothing about sexual abuse, animal cruelty, drugs offences or fraud, so just asking.

I was also wondering where the information that he was on the run from the Swedish police came from.

I'm sure he's not exactly a desirable person and will be deported when his prison sentence has finished, but hope the case against him hasn't been exaggerated for effect.

The information appeared in The Guardian amongst other media sources.

Thanks. I'll look. I read the report on the BBC site, but it wasn't quite so bad as the OP described. I like facts.

The Guardian article doesn't mention those particular crimes either. Any more leads?

I can't help thinking there is an absolute denial by some in our society, to acknowledge that there are, and will be, a proportion of asylum seekers who present a very dangerous threat. There's almost a suggestion of "well anyway I prefer them to the far right wing, racist, flag waving thugs" in spite of knowing nothing about them, like this awful individual kicked out of Sweden. It does seem that any asylum seeker is automatically considered to be a good person irrespective, who in time, as no doubt some will be, an absolute asset to the country. Unfortunately there are enough cases, hitting the news and going through the courts to suggest that isn't always the case. It was reported the other day that a young woman was dragged on to a beach in Brighton by several asylum seekers and raped. Then there was the case of the young woman who worked in an asylum hotel who was fatally stabbed by one of the men staying there. Assaults and rapes and in the worst case scenarios murders are not unknown. I often see the argument used, that British criminals will outnumber those who are foreign born, which is completely nonsensical, of course they will, with a population of 70 million or whatever it is now, it stands to reason the majority of criminals in our jails will be British, they are with us and always will be. The criminal element, of some foreign nationals as a ratio of their overall numbers in this country are massively over represented in jails, do we really have to import any more

Brilliant post.

I agree, brilliant post.

We are constantly told those arriving are Doctors, Teachers, Engineers etc. …

Who tells you that? We are told " they" are scroungers, perverts, liars and cheats.

Perhaps "they" are indeed a mixture of good and bad and just plain dull.

Oh obviously this individual is a very nasty piece of work.

He certainly is Stripeygran. The important issue here is that the Government should be able to control our borders and so obviously cannot. I struggle with posters who can see no problem with this.

But Brexit was supposed to be a way to control our borders. What happened to that? Isn’t that what Farage campaigned for..and won.

What has happened is that Starmer got voted in.

How silly! There's very little difference between this government and the last one, but you couldn't miss having a go at Starmer.

Just wait until St Nige has his way!!! He'll be co-ordinating everything from the other side of the Atlantic, the Channel or from Dubai (while the minions squabble and don't even notice the landings.)

Change the system. Make a way for genuine asylum seekers to be effectively 'processed'. With all the modern, computer assisted data processing accountability factored in.
Reduce the numbers having to use the 'boat' system, and that way the boats could be more easily tracked and monitored.
Make the change.

Terribull I agree with your post 👏👏👏

I get very steamed up about the fact that these alledged scientists, medical proffessionals, lawyers, engineers, etc, are almost all men of fighting age (although some, sporting beards and receding hairlines have claimed to be around 15!) who claim to be fleeing murderous political regime's.

So, they're content to leave their womenfolk behind to face the violence?

No backbone, no integrity, no respect whatsoever for women.

How do you know this please? That the people have no respect for women? Have you chatted to any of them? Have you worked with people seeking asylum?

How do we know who is on these boats?

Surely that's the whole point?

It does seem that any asylum seeker is automatically considered to be a good person

Absolutely not because that would be just as foolish as thinking they are are cowards/ scroungers/ sex pests.

I think the assertion that we have boatloads of doctors etc. coming our way, and yes I've read that, may stem from recent history when this country took in both Asians expelled from Uganda and Vietnamese boat people. Both groups coming with virtually nothing astounded us in the short time they've been here, not only with their worth ethic but their educational achievements, going on to exemplify a multitude of skills migrants can bring with them, neither can I remember any reports of social problems that emanated from those groups.

The recent migration of asylum seekers since Angela Merkel's decision to take so many, may well have brought positives, but a multitude of negatives both here and in mainland Europe, of which there has been much obfuscation and denials. In my opinion those have spurred on the right wing factions. Was there anything worse than the mass assaults of women in Cologne, quite unprecedented. Sweden as with the rest of Scandinavia has often been a blueprint of the sort of egalitarian societies that we should aim to emulate. They must wonder what the hell they have done to their society when armoured tanks have to go out on their streets to manage some of the gangland problems they have imported. Again, that's been bubbling away below the surface for some time, based on the mantra that all migration is beneficial and those who say it isn't are labelled as far right bigots.

Only a fool would think the present " system" is working and beneficial to newcomers and established population.

Perhaps the
assertion of boatloads of doctors arriving is based on some muddled thinking. Any recent use of the NHS may plant this seed.
They are neither boatloads of doctors or nasty young men on the make. They are infact human beings who are varied as you and I.

We are beyond naïve if we think he is a one-off. We have no idea who we are letting into our country. Those wanting a better life and using the legal migrant process very likely have nothing to hide, paperwork in order etc. Those arriving on rubber boats largely have no right to be here and that's why they are attempting to come in through the back door. Their claims that they are fleeing persecution and war cuts no ice with me. They will have crossed several safe countries in order to reach the French coast. We are a laughing stock. Donald Trump, President Macron and Tony Abbott, a former Australian PM have all recently pointed out where we could close down the illegal route. But we will continue to allow these criminals into our country because every Government we have had are too weak and lily-livered to make a stand.
As Tony Abbott said, he was very unpopular globally when he stopped illegal migration but as the elected PM, his first responsibility was to the Australian citizens. How I would love to have a PM like that.

That is not denied! Amongst their number however are rapists, criminals and unfortunately muderers, there are a steady flow who are awaiting their court cases. As posted by Kate upthread, one woman working in a migrant hotel was stabbed to death, is her life worth nothing? If he hadn't entered our country she'd still be alive. These men need to be processed before they are allowed to reach our shores. The present system is shambolic and yes the previous government as well as this one have been useless in this matter.

The pro immigrants are always telling us how many well qualified, educated professionals are arriving in boats.
Total BS of course.

Don’t think I have ever heard TV or radio programmes saying that they are scroungers, perverts etc.

Insert the word “lying” between nasty and piece. 😉

The point is, 94% of people arriving in this country are arriving as legal immigrants and they include the doctors, teachers, carers, chemists, dentists etc.

Of course, some are staying illegally and the government is doing its best with limited resources to root them out.

But the O/P and a group of posters here are fixated on the 6%, many off whom are genuine refugees, those who are not will be and sent back if possible after processing.

(Which clearly needs to be speeded up:

But are you dear posters prepared to pay more in taxes to do this or is it empty rhetoric and grumbles

As regards the example in the O/P I feel a faux outrage coming at me

because

Of course he isn't going to be allowed to stay: he's clearly completely bonkers as well as dangerous!

Point of Information request.
I thought convicted criminals were automatically removed?

But are you dear posters prepared to pay more in taxes to do this or is it empty rhetoric and grumbles

That sounds incredibly patronising!
This is older people, pensioners, you are addressing in the main, some of whom may scarcely be eligible to pay much tax.

It is up to Government whether or not we pay more in taxes. It is up to the Government if they tackle the wealthy who evade tax instead of penalising those working hard and struggling to make ends meet and those who provide food for the population.

What would you like us to do? Go along to Ms Reeves with a tenner in an envelope every week labelled 'My voluntary tax'?

I'd like to see an effort made to stop waste first, tackle the lawyers who keep appealing on behalf of those refused asylum for whatever reason and to make a more robust effort to deport those people who fail the process. One family has been in the country for eight years, refused asylum three times but are still here, being moved around from place to place awaiting the result of yet another appeal.

Some lawyers are becoming very wealthy from this new industry. I hope they are paying the tax due or, being lawyers, have they found loopholes?

A few weeks ago there was a report on the BBC of a successful police operation against criminals stealing and exporting phones to China, the figures were something like 40,000 phones a year.
I read through this and it turned out that a particularly useful moment was when the police stopped a car containing 3 or 4000 phones on their way out of the country. The car was driven by, wait for it, two 30 year old Afghans.
I used to feel that one should be positive about illegal immigration but I feel it has gone too far and would agree with others that the majority of these boat people are young, able men.
The UK isn't quite the paradise they possibly imagined but I would guess many, if to most, of them have no idea about our values regarding women or the difficulty most British citizens now face with a getting a decent job or finding an affordable place to live.

After they serve their sentence? Or at least part of it.

But where to, if they have no papers?
Back to France?

Of course, some are staying illegally and the government is doing its best with limited resources to root them out.

And making a complete hash of that too as this family knows!! 😁

Well said Allira

Regarding the young woman who was murdered in Walsall. A witness said that she had previously had biscuits thrown in her face by an asylum seeker as they weren't ones that he liked. The CCTV on the night that she died shows her sitting in reception beside a large box of Walkers crisps which she could give out. You can see this man staring at her which allegedly he had been doing for hours. He was approached by the welfare officer at the hotel to ask if he was ok. Who was looking after the young woman's welfare? Poor girl.

The other question, Kate1949 is that why are asylum seekers allowed to wander the streets of our towns if we have no idea who they are, where they are from or why they are here?

Exactly Allira.

I'm not sure why, but seeing the box of crisps really upset me. Kindness.

I don’t dispute that Fayaz Hosseini is a deeply unpleasant and dangerous man and should not be in the UK but what is reported in the opening post does not accord with the sentencing remarks - which were easy to find:

www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Rex-v-Fayaz-Khan-aka-Fayaz-Hosseini-.pdf

SENTENCING REMARKS OF MRS JUSTICE STEYN DBE

… between 2019 and 2024 you were convicted in Sweden of 17 offences on 12 occasions. These include multiple drug and dishonesty offences and, most pertinently, the following offences:

• Threatening behaviour towards a public servant (1 month imprisonment);

• an Offence against the act relating to the banning of knives and other dangerous objects (fine);

• Threatening behaviour (3 months’ imprisonment);

• Causing minor bodily injury (in effect, no separate penalty);

• Vandalism (2 months’ imprisonment); and

• Possessing an offensive weapon in a public place (6 months’ imprisonment).

Having regard to the nature of the particular offences I have identified, the fact that they have all been committed during the past six years, and their relevance to the offence of Making athreat to kill, your antecedents are a significant aggravating factor.

There is nothing about child sexual offences. As the judge also remarked:

You said, ‘I come to England because I want marriage with your sister’, words which were clearly intended as a sexual threat then surely she would have deemed other alleged multiple child sexual offences pertinent.

The judge also said:

You claim that as a result of your history in Afghanistan, this trial and your social media profile, you would be at risk from the Taliban in Afghanistan. You have adduced no evidence in support of any aspect of this submission. You left a safe European country, Sweden, where you had lived for nine years, and travelled through other safe European countries (Germany and France), before coming to the UK. On your own case, your asylum claim has been fully adjudicated in Sweden and rejected. You have not stated what the grounds for rejection were. I am not persuaded, on the evidence before me, that you have an arguable asylum claim such as to reduce your culpability.

She also said:

In your police interview you asserted that ‘Fayaz Hosseini’ is your real name, and that you gave a different name to the UK authorities because you have enemies who you did not want to find you. I am sure that you gave the UK authorities a false name and a false date of birth. That was not because you were hiding from so-called ‘enemies’: if that were the case, you would not have live-streamed your journey on social media. It was because you have a criminal record in Sweden, and in that country you were facing an extant prison sentence of 6 months.

The Swedish government has withdrawn an extradition matter concerning an alleged knife offence. You claimed asylum in Sweden which was, in due course, rejected. You claim that you had exhausted all appeal rights in Sweden and had been served with notice requiring you to leave Sweden within 25 days.

Given what Judge Steyn has said, I cannot see any reason why, on completion of his sentence, he won’t be returned to Afghanistan.

How I agree with your post. That young woman would still be alive, she had a right to live her life, illegal migrants have no right to be here in the first place, and then to enter illegally and commit murder. Beyond angry 😡
