The Martyrs of Songkhon (Thai: มรณสักขีแห่งสองคอน) Thailand (also called Seven Blessed Martyrs of Songkhon) are seven Roman Catholic Thais executed in the village Songkhon, Mukdahan Province, northeastern Thailand, in December 1940 by local police forces. This was during the Franco-Thai War and police falsely believed they were spying for the French. The victims were beatified by Pope John Paul II in Rome on October 22, 1989.
