Invisible Children co-founder Jason Russell in hospital

Invisible Children co-founder Jason Russell was picked up by San Diego Police

The co-founder of Invisible Children has been taken to hospital in San Diego, California, after he was found semi-naked and screaming at traffic.

Jason Russell narrated the Kony 2012 campaign video which went viral on the internet last week.

Police said he had been detained and taken to a medical facility.

In a statement, Invisible Children head Ben Keesey said that a "severe emotional toll" had led to an "unfortunate incident".

The statement said Mr Russell had been hospitalised on Thursday "suffering from exhaustion, dehydration, and malnutrition".

San Diego police spokeswoman Andra Brown told AFP news agency: "Officers responded to a radio call to check the welfare of an individual who was said to be running in the street, interfering with traffic, screaming - one person said that he was naked and masturbating."

She added that after assessing his condition, officers had decided to take him to a medical facility for treatment.

Invisible Children's 30 minute video on the use of child soldiers by Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda has been viewed tens of millions of times on YouTube over the past week.

It has the backing of countless celebrities and the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor, but both the group and the video have also come under heavy criticism.

Activists say the campaign simplifies a complex issue, and questions have been raised about Invisible Children's financing.

so any of you who were all into this go pasting up on the 20th? didn't see one thing up in east london thankfully

Funny fact though that got me thinking.

The aim of this charity is to raise awareness about Kony in order to bring the man in front the ICC. It seemed to have been supported in some capacity by the US governement since they sent "US Army advisors".

However, the US government is one of the few western government not to recognize the ICC as they didn't ratify the Rome treaty.....

Amerika can't sign it because if it did it would have to arrest and put on trial literally hundreds of War Criminals....by not signing it it doesn't have to prosecute US individuals for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression...all of which we know they are quite guilty of....

No signature from Israel either.....wonder why?

Good call !! And then they point fingers at African politicians, like in Kenya when they forced Kenyan govt to arrest North Sudanese Bashir to send him to ICC.

Last week, our President Kibaki (our president of Kenya) said that Kenya is now turning to China.

Yup no signature for Israel either.

Russia too but it seems that Russia is in the process of the signing shortly.

I was just pointing out the hypocrisy of the situation.....

It further means that if Kony was on US soil he couldn't be arrested as well!
