Bangladesh, Oct. 24 -- Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday expressed deep shock and sorrow at the death of Barrister Rafique-ul Haque.

The prime minister recalled Barrister Rafique's role with gratitude as he came forward to fight a legal battle to release her from the jail after her arrest in 2007 by the then caretaker government.

"Barrister Rafique-ul Haque used to give advice on important issues regarding the Constitution," she said.

She prayed for eternal peace of the departed soul and conveyed sympathy to the bereaved family members.
