Christian charity worker Matthew Grech will be facing trial in Malta on 3 February, in a case believed to be the first of its kind. His crime? Sharing his testimony of finding Christ in an online interview.

Thanks to finding faith, Matthew says he was able to leave behind a homosexual life, changing his life dramatically. However, Matthew has now been accused of discussing and advertising 'conversion practices', which, according to Maltese legislation, is illegal. If convicted, Matthew could face five months in prison, and/or be fined €5,000.

The case, which is being assisted by the Christian Legal Centre, should sound alarm bells around the UK about the dangers of so-called 'conversion therapy' bans. Matthew simply told his testimony of change (which didn't actually involve any formal therapy - he simply became a Christian!), explaining his beliefs.

On this week's Round the Table, Matthew joins Tim Dieppe and Carys Moseley to share more about the charges he's facing and the dangers of 'conversion therapy' bans.
