The question of internal security may be real, or a bogie which the state attempts to compel the Court to believe as real, by impressing upon the Court on aspects of internal / national security and thereby try to get the Court to dismiss the application for bail by the contending that the imperatives of internal security demand that the accused remain incarcerated even in the absence of judicially cognizable material against the accused only because there is a suspicion that the accused may be involved in the offence as charged. An overbearing subliminal belief in the primacy of internal security of the State in the subconscious mind of the judge, could result in the inadvertent oppressive application of a draconian law resulting in the denial of liberty, unsupported by judicially cognizable material. The words of the French thinker Voltaire on internal security are relevant when he says, “Beware of the words ‘internal security’ for they are the eternal cry of the oppressor.” https://article-14.com/post/a-landmark-judgement-from-j-k-in-the-law-s-perennial-conflict-between-liberty-security-66a0737aca3ec https://archive.vn/3Z3bs
