Lawyers for former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan filed an appeal Yesterday against his conviction for graft, as he languished in a small cell in a century-old prison at the start of a three-year jail term.
The former international cricket star was arrested at the weekend and taken to jail after being found guilty in one of the more than 200 cases he has faced since being ousted from office by a vote of no confidence in April 2022.
