ISLAMABAD (Reuters) -Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan appeared before the Supreme Court by video link from prison on Thursday to plead his petition against changes in Pakistan's anti-graft laws.

His video appearance was expected to be streamed live on the court's website and YouTube, making it the first publicly seen visuals of the jailed leader since his arrest in August last year. But the pictures could not be seen on the website as proceedings began.
