Lenshina never faced a trial but was detained by Kenneth Kaunda in [[Mumbwa District]], beginning in August 1964. Her husband, [[Petros Chintankwa]] (who died in 1972), was detained with her. In 1965 they were moved to [[Kalabo District]], near the Angolan border, but they escaped in October 1967. They were caught, jailed for 6 months and restricted in [[Mkushi District]]. In May 1970 Kaunda placed her in detention and ordered the destruction of her temple church in her home village of Kasomo. Finally she was released from detention in December 1975 but was put under house arrest in [[Lusaka]]'s New [[Chilenje]] compound, Nkunda Road.
