Following her arrest, Jimpa Lhamo was taken to Seitru Prison, where she endured a month of daily torture and relentless interrogation. Upon arrival, she was injected with an unknown substance, blindfolded, and questioned about her nunnery, alleged political links, and motives for opposing Chinese rule. Although she was not affiliated with any organized group, authorities accused her of political resistance. When she refused to cooperate or provide names, she was subjected to severe beatings, whipped with leather belts, stripped of her nun’s robes, and brutally abused. After several days, blood was forcibly drawn from her body, and she was suspended by her arms with her feet off the ground. She was confined in a pitch-dark isolation cell, where fire was lit beneath her, filling the space with smoke and causing her to suffocate. She was burned with red-hot sticks, leaving permanent scars on her stomach and hand, and was repeatedly threatened with death. She also sustained a serious neck injury after being struck with a wooden object, resulting in long-term pain.
