The "no parading prisoners" clause doesn't really apply to these situations. Or, well, at least it's debatable.

The provision was added to disallow what had been common in WWI and WWII, and that is parading prisoners through streets while crowds cheered on. Photography existed back then and the convention very much does not say "you can't have pictures in newspapers". Should there be some privacy considerations? I'd say yes, but we also shouldn't overdo it. After all filming soldiers while they're fighting is legal, why would everything suddenly change completely once they're captured?
