Invisible Children co-founder Jason Russell in hospital

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.

An unusual viral video depicting the story behind Ugandan Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) leader Joseph Kony and his brutal practice of forcing young children into war has been watched by some 11 million people online.
The half hour documentary produced by filmmaker Jason Russell for the Invisible Children charity is taking social media by storm but is attracting criticism from those working in policy development in Africa.
Africa correspondent Andrew Harding reported that Joseph Kony is "something of a spent force" with only a few hundred soldiers but pressure is being put on the US government to find Kony and bring him to the Hague.
Andrew Harding said that those critical of the campaign say this kind of approach may raise awareness but does not achieve much on the ground.
They believe it is "putting pressure on the wrong people", he told the Today programme's John Humphrys, and could be seen as a sort of neo-colonialism in that it is the Ugandan government who should be lobbied, not the US.

(Reuters) - Uganda's government has taken to the Internet to correct a "false impression" about the country it says was created by a U.S. celebrity-backed online campaign to hunt down fugitive warlord Joseph Kony.
