Walid Ahmed Shawky is an Egyptian dentist, human rights researcher, and political activist.. [1]. During the 2011 Egyptian revolution, Shawky was a co-founder [2] and member of the political bureau of the April 6 Youth Movement, a democratic grassroots political movement [3]. The April 6 Youth Movement helped spark the January 25, 2011 protests in Egypt, which are widely credited with ending President Hosni Mubarak's 30-year autocratic reign over Egypt [4]
On Sunday, October 14, 2018, Shawky was detained by police at his private dental clinic in Cairo [5]. He was imprisoned until October 20, 2018, when he appeared before the Supreme State Security Prosecution (SSSP) [6]
Shawky was listed as a defendant in Case No. 621/2018 [7]. The SSSP accused him of joining an illegal group, misusing social media, and spreading false news [8]. On August 23, 2020, the court published a decision to release Shawky on probation [9]. However, the security forces ignored the decision and instead "forcibly disappeared him for more than a month" [10].
Shawky was brought before the SSSP once more on October 6, 2020 and accused once again of the same charges [11]. He began a hunger strike on February 11, 2022 which lasted until March 16, 2022 [12]. Shawky was released on April 24, 2022 [13]
As a leading figure in the 6th of April Movement, Shawky was selected as a member of the Egyptian Delegation at the European Parliament in 2011 [14].
In 2016, Shawky wrote a self-critique of the 6th of April Movement in articles published by Mada Masr. He is also an op-ed contributor to Egyptian and Arabic independent news outlets including Mada Masr, Al-Manassa, and Masr 360.
