Varatharajah Thurairajah (born March 3, 1975) is an Eelam Tamil physician and human rights activist. He is one of the official witnesses for the United Nations investigations on war crimes and human rights violations in Sri Lanka. He is a first-hand witness of the events in the "No Fire Zone" in Mullivaikkal, Mullaitivu; and has revealed information to the world about the planned genocide of Tamils in 2009. He is currently engaged in activities related to creating awareness about the issue. Career Eechilampatru and Vakarai: June 2006 to February 2007 As of 2006, Varatharajah was said to be the only doctor in the town of Vakarai, Sri Lanka. He went to Varakai as a refugee and decided to stay there with other refugees. When Varakai was captured by Sri Lankan government forces in January 2007, Varatharajah was allegedly the last person to leave the town. Mullivaikkal, Mullaitivu: February 2007 to May 2009 In January 2009, the Sri Lankan government announced that there were only 80,000 people in the LTTE controlled areas of Northern Province, but in reality, there were around 340,000 people. Since there was no presence of foreign media in the war zone, Dr. Varatharajah was the only credible source for reporting humanitarian and human rights crisis to outside world. During that time, Sri Lankan government independently declared a ‘No Fire Zone’ in Suthanthirapuram without consulting any medical staff. Puthukkudiyiruppu hospital was not included in the "No Fire Zone". After the announcement of a "No Fire Zone<", people were forced to move to Suthanthirapuram where all civilians were crowded into a small area. Later in the record, it was mentioned that more people were killed in the ‘No Fire Zone’ area than other areas. While Dr. Varatharajah stayed at Puthukkudiyiruppu hospital treating casualties from Suthanthirapuram, he was informing the situation to ICRC, INGOs and the government. Dr. Sathiyamoorthy, the regional director of health services from Kilinochchi, and fellow staff moved to Mullaitivu and worked with Dr. Varatharajah. Around 7 government doctors, including Dr. Varatharajah, with other medical staff and volunteers served nearly 340,000 people in the war zone. After several weeks, Puthukkudiyiruppu hospital was also destroyed by government shelling and bombing. Therefore, Dr. Varatharajah and other staff moved to Puthumaththalam and Mullivaikkal area and set-up a makeshift hospital at a school to treat the casualties. He reported about the dead and injured in that area as well as on
