During his 43-year stay in Kenya, Catholic priest Gabriel Dolan was arrested and locked up many times. He was harassed and threatened by politicians for fighting for victims of human rights violations. He also waged war against land grabbing and abuse of power which earned him many enemies.
Father Dolan, who is now set to leave the country, fought for the poor during the dark days of one party rule. He worked hard to create awareness through his civil society work.
