The United States government has named retired Senior Superintendent of Police Reneto Adams and 5 members his disbanded operational team as among 17 officials and family members of foreign governments who have been banned from that country for “gross violations of human rights”.
Adams and his colleges were members of a now disbanded Jamaica Constabulary Force operational team, the Crime Management Unit, who were barred for their reported involvement in gross violations in human rights in Jamaica.
Along with Adams, Devon Bernard, Patrick Coke, Shayne Lyons, Leford Gordon, and Roderick Collier were also barred.
The announcement came yesterday on World Human Rights Day.
It made reference to a 2003 incident in which two women and two men were killed in a house in the sleepy district of Kraal in Clarendon by members of the Unit, led by the then Senior Superintendent of Police Adams.
