Jailed ex-Pakistan PM Imran Khan's lawyers to apply for bail

Lawyers for former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan are filing a bail application and appealing for improved prison conditions following his three-year jail sentence for graft.
Khan was convicted for failing to properly declare gifts received while in office, a ruling that disqualifies him from contesting upcoming elections.
Despite being held in 'deplorable' C-class conditions with limited amenities, Khan reportedly remains in good spirits and committed to his principles.
The public response to this arrest has been notably muted compared to previous protests, attributed to a government crackdown on his party's supporters.
