Al-Sadek Hamed Al-Shuwehdy (or Sadiq Hamed Shwehdi) (c. 1954 – June 5, 1984) was a Libyan college student and aeronautical engineer who was publicly executed at the conclusion of a show trial at a basketball stadium in Benghazi, Libya. The trial and execution were broadcast live on Libyan state television. Al-Shuwehdy had returned three months earlier from the United States where he had been studying, and had begun to protest against Gaddafi's regime.
While working as an engineer at an airport, Al-Shuwehdy joined friends who were campaigning against Gaddafi. Libyan police later seized him at his home; he was executed a few months later. Al-Shuwehdy's family never received his body; mourners later arriving at their house were physically intimidated. After his death, members of his family also experienced difficulty finding employment or securing places at a university.Al Shuwehdy's execution is one of the most notable Libyan executions carried out under former dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
