Both sources describe the harassment as occurring after the verdict and emphasize that the threats follow Khan’s decision to convict the men. The reporting highlights the intensity of online backlash against the judge, alongside the ongoing concerns about security and intimidation in the aftermath of controversial criminal judgments.
