#ManchesterUnited Fan And Social Worker Arrested Among the 53 Pro-Democracy Activists

Jeffrey Andrews, a social worker of Indian descent, was one of the 53 pro-democracy activists who were arrested last week for violating the National Security Law and allegedly “inciting to subvert state power.”

Andrews is a long time Manchester United fan who grew up in Hong Kong. He was named one of the seven “United Heroes” by Manchester United in recognition of his contribution to the refugee welfare in Hong Kong.

He was arrested for robbery when he was young and was helped by a social worker, where he later decided that he also want to pursue the same career path in helping minority groups in Hong Kong.

Andrews has been working with ethnic minorities including refugees at the refugee centre at Chungking Mansions. He was also elected as one of Hong Kong’s Outstanding Persons in 2019.

Andrews decided to run in the Legislative Council primaries last year but received the lowest number of votes in the Kowloon West District.
