The Ansar Burney Trust is a human rights organization in Pakistan.

Persons Released

Over the past 25 years, the Trust has been successful in getting the release of around 700,000 confined persons from various sites around the world. These have included persons locked up for up to 55 years on fake charges or those confined in mental institutions to rot their entire lives away even though they are perfectly sane. Other people released have included those rescued from private prisons and hundreds of thousands of human smuggling victims.

Human Smuggling and Trafficking

The Ansar Burney Trust is the leading organisation working on the issues of human smuggling and trafficking - especially the use of children as camel jockeys. In 2005, Ansar Burney (Chairman) was declared an International "Hero" in the field of human trafficking by the US State Department.
