Murugathasan Varnakulasingham (2 December 1982 – 13 February 2009) was a Sri Lankan Tamil, one of seven who immolated themselves to protest the treatment of Tamil people by the government of Sri Lanka. Varnakulasingham was a computing graduate and part-time Sainsbury's shelf-stacker. He went to Geneva from his house on Grange Avenue, Belmont, Harrow, to protest the Sri Lankan government war against the Tamils. On 13 February 2009, after days of protesting, Varnakulasingham poured petrol over his body and killed himself at the gate of United Nations headquarters in Geneva. He was 26.
