What is against the Geneva Convention is PARADING prisoners to have their photos taken etc. The photos themselves are not what is at issue, it is the intention of the people holding the prisoners in custody. It would be equally against the convention to parade prisoners in front of cameras as it would be to parade them down a street full of people without any cameras present.
In this case it appears the prisoners have been photographed from long distance by a news organisation attempting to show how they are being treated - ie trying to DEFEND the rights of the prisoner.
