The Martyrs of Songkhon[1] (Thai: มรณสักขีแห่งสองคอน) (also called Seven Blessed Martyrs of Songkhon) are seven Roman Catholic Thais executed in the village Songkhon in Pong Kham subdistrict, Wan Yai District,[2] Mukdahan Province, northeastern Thailand, in December 1940 by local police forces.

The killings occurred 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.

Therefore, we would like to give our answer to your question, asked yesterday evening which we did not have a chance to respond because we were unprepared for it.
