Prosecuting a man accused of sending a grossly offensive tweet about Captain Tom Moore the day after his death could breach his human rights, a court has heard.

Joseph Kelly, 35, has pleaded not guilty to sending the message “of an indecent, obscene or menacing character” about the fundraising centenarian on February 3.
