‘Awaaz: Echoes of Freedom and Justice’ is Ansar Burney's memoir that traces his transformation from a student leader to a champion of human rights. During his time in jail in 1977, Burney witnesses the harrowing conditions of Pakistani prisons, inspiring his shift towards advocating for the prisoners. In 1980, he establishes the Ansar Burney Trust, confronting exploitation despite threats to his life. As a lawyer, he is naturally inclined towards working within the boundaries of state law and addresses issues by working cooperatively with authorities. His partnerships with leaders such as Muhammad Khan Junejo, Zia-ul-Haq, Mirza Aslam Beg, Pervez Musharraf, and others led to the release of numerous prisoners in Pakistan.
The memoir recounts his monumental 17-year struggle against the use of child camel jockeys in the Middle East, and reflects on personal challenges, relationships, and encounters with renowned humanitarians. Burney helps in bridging divides as Pakistan's first Minister of Human Rights and a UN Expert Advisor on Human Rights. His storytelling captivates readers, as he shares both successes and vulnerabilities, and offers valuable insights for anyone in the humanitarian field, or on a journey of personal growth.
