Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander has revoked the Preventive Detention Order (PDO) issued against dancehall artiste Joseph “Medz Boss” Oliviere.

The revocation, dated August 24, was published in yesterday’s Gazette but does not state the grounds on which Oliviere was released.

It comes almost six months after a PDO was issued on March 19 for the arrest of the entertainer.
