Human rights groups have raised concerns about the men - members of the Muslim minority group who activists say are persecuted in China - after two of them were pardoned by Thailand last month.
They were among more than 300 Uyghurs held in Thailand in 2014, most of whom have since left - including a group of around 40 sent last year to China, a move that sparked international outrage.
