Ravi Madasamy (Tamil: ரவி மாடசாமி), better known as M Ravi, is a Singaporean former human rights lawyer and activist. Known for his work as a cause lawyer, he has served as counsel in multiple high-profile court cases in Singapore, many of which have become leading cases in Singaporean constitutional law and Singapore's approach toward capital punishment and LGBT rights.[1]

After graduating from the National University of Singapore and Cardiff University, Ravi qualified and practised law in Singapore. He was defence counsel for death row inmates Yong Vui Kong, Gobi Avedian, and Cheong Chun Yin, all of whom had their death sentences separately commuted to jail terms (life imprisonment for Yong and Cheong, and 15 years' imprisonment for Gobi). Throughout his career, he launched lawsuits against the Singapore government on human rights issues, including the constitutionality of Section 377A, freedom of expression, and voting rights, which have led to judicial and political changes.[2]

Ravi is an activist for death penalty abolition and LGBT rights. He ran for the 2015 general election as a member of the Reform Party contesting in Ang Mo Kio GRC, but lost to the governing People's Action Party.[3][4] For his advocacy and pro-bono work, Ravi has been recognised by international activists and NGOs, including Richard Branson, Amnesty International, the International Bar Association (IBA), and Human Rights Watch. In 2023, he was awarded the IBA Human Rights Award.
