strangulation relies on compression of the Trachea to restrict intake of fresh air and dispersal of carbon dioxide.

Whether aura prevents it or not is entirely dependant on how hard they are pressing on your throat; if it is just enough to compress it, aura would likely NOT stop it, as no damage would be dealt.

If it is signifiantly harder, and the cartilage were strained or fractured, it WOULD stop it, since that would cause actual damage.

At least that is what the damage preventing natureo f aura suggests; however since it also functions to sustain life it is equally possible it would reinforce the trachea to prevent compression to begin with.
