Granted, if only for the sake of discussion, that this is correct, the Civilian Convention states the following:

Art. 3(1) Persons taking no active part in the hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed hors de combat by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, colour, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria.

In other words, once thay are placed hors de combat by detention, they are entitled to all of the protections of the convention.
