Sky News has learned that Imran Khan’s lawyers have filed an appeal to have him temporarily moved to another jail close to Islamabad that has slightly better facilities.

Mr Khan’s lawyers are also expected to ask Pakistan's High Court to appeal against the court which sentenced him to 3 years in prison.

Pakistan's former Prime Minister has spent two nights in a high-security prison after he was handed a three-year jail term after not declaring the sale of state gifts.

The popular opposition leader, who was ousted from power in a no-confidence vote last April, was arrested at his home in Lahore on Saturday.
