The defence lawyer for five Americans convicted of plotting terrorist attacks and sentenced to 10 years in jail in Pakistan says he has filed an appeal.
Hasan Dastagir says the appeal filed today argues the conviction should be overturned because it did not take into account evidence provided by the defence.
Mr Dastagir says the court will set a date to hear the appeal in a few days.
The five young Americans from the Washington DC area were arrested in the Pakistani city of Sargodha six months ago and convicted last week.

Prosecutors said evidence proved the men used the Internet to plot terror attacks and meet militant organisations in Pakistan.
Defence lawyers said the evidence was falsified and the men were innocent.
