Joseph Kony 2012: filmmaker Jason Russell arrested on suspicion of masturbating in public

Invisible Children chief executive Ben Keesey told TMZ: “Jason Russell was
unfortunately hospitalised yesterday suffering from exhaustion, dehydration,
and malnutrition. He is now receiving medical care and is focused on getting
better.

“The past two weeks have taken a severe emotional toll on all of us, Jason
especially, and that toll manifested itself in an unfortunate incident
yesterday.

“Jason’s passion and his work have done so much to help so many, and we are
devastated to see him dealing with this personal health issue. We will
always love and support Jason, and we ask that you give his entire family
privacy during this difficult time.” According to the group’s website
Russell, a married father of two, is the co-founder and “our grand
storyteller and dreamer.”

The video aimed to make Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony, leader of the Lord’s
Resistance Army (LRA,) “famous” for his crimes. The LRA has adbucted
children and fored them to fight, in come cases making them kill their own
parents.

Kony is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes
against humanity.

But critics of the video have pointed out that Kony and the LRA are no longer
active in Uganda, having fled into the Central African Republic where they
are a much diminshed force.

Following the first screening of the film in Uganda further showings were
suspended due to negative feedback. The audience did not feel it accurately
portrayed the conflict.
