In my view is wrong for either side to contravene the Convention, we cannot be selective about it. We do not know what promises or threats were made prior to the broadcast.
Article 13 of the Third Geneva Convention explicitly states that prisoners of war must be protected at all times, particularly from public curiosity. It is duty of the detaining power to ensure these prisoners’ rights are properly respected from the moment they are captured.
It also puts the POWs at risk from their own government if they are repatriated
