A Christian charity worker is facing criminal charges for allegedly promoting "conversion practices" in his own country during an online interview about how he chose to leave his former homosexual lifestyle after finding salvation in Jesus Christ.
The Christian Legal Centre (CLC) reports it is representing Matthew Grech who faces up to five months in prison and almost $5,500 in fines if convicted.
The faith-based nonprofit law firm called Grech's case "the first-ever prosecution for 'conversion practices' in Malta."
His trial is scheduled for Feb. 3 at the Court of Magistrates in Valletta along with the hosts of a local free speech media outlet, PMnews Malta.
