The European was a limited circulation political and cultural magazine, published between 1953 and 1959. During this tenure, it was edited by Diana Mosley of the Mitford family. Diana had been one of the Bright young things and had cultivated friendships with several of the contributors to the magazine; these included Henry Williamson and Roy Campbell. The magazine was published by Euphorion Books, a publishing company formed by Mosley and her husband, Sir Oswald Mosley, founder of the British Union of Fascists, it was founded as a platform for Sir Oswald to raise consciousness of his doctrine of Europe a Nation. The publication stressed the importance that Britain should join the European Community. Although the majority of contributors were pro-Europe, the magazine, according to Diana Mosley was an "open forum"; the Economist said that the magazine "echoed Mosley's views." Described as a "cultural magazine" by The Evening Standard in 2009, Victoria Horwell of The Guardian described it as a "far-right magazine" in her obituary piece on Diana Mosley in 2003.
Diana Mosley's biographer, Jan Dalley wrote that the magazine was devised for Oswald Mosley to reach a more intellectual and middle-class audience. Mosley included a European editorial but Dalley says that "Diana preferred to fill it with book reviews and notices of plays and films articles about food and cookery, to the dismay of the old guard." As well as editing the magazine, Diana Mosley contributed regular diary entries and book reviews. Several of these contributions were republished in the 2008 book The Pursuit of Laughter, a collection of journalism by Mosley. In July 1956, Diana wrote the essay, The Writing of Rebecca West republished in 1986. Desmond Stewart and Alan Neame were regular contributors and Diana arranged contributions by Ezra Pound, Henry Williamson, Roy Campbell, Anna Kavan, Hugo Charteris and Nicholas Mosley. Third Position
Namrita Chandani known as Nimrita Amarta Maher Chandani or Nimrita Kumari, was a Sindhi Hindu girl from Mirpur Mathelo, Pakistan. She was a final year student at Bibi Asifa Dental College Larkana when she was found dead in her hostel room on 16 September 2019.. There is wide speculation about the cause of her death; the institute and local police claimed the cause of death to be suicide, the family claims that she was murdered. Fingerprint samples and Chandani's scarf were sent to The National Database and Registration Authority but this investigation did not yield any substantial findings and so could not conclude a cause of death; the post-mortem performed pointed. A autopsy report commissioned by the Sindh high court found evidence of murder and sexual assault; this report showed that she was asphyxiated to death by strangulation with a rope. These chain of events may be confirmed based on evidence of male DNA on her clothes and body. Vaginal swab examination showed evidence of sexual contact.
Doctors revealed. Police said that the girl may have committed suicide but her brother Vishal told the media he was convinced that his sister was murdered, he appealed to the public to stand up for them as they are indeed a minority in Pakistan The university vice-chancellor Anila told the media that Chandani's room was locked. She further added. According to the post-mortem report, no marks of torture have been found on the body. SSP Larkana had sealed her room for further investigation, it is suspected by some. An investigation is looking into the leaked medical paper which Chandani opposed and raised her voice for. Prime Minister Imran Khan has ordered a judicial inquiry into the murder of Chandani. According to initial police reports, Chandani wanted to marry classmate Mehran Abro but the parents of Abro refused. A dental professor from the college she studied at claimed that Namrita had cried to him regarding her personal problems. Sindh police arrested two of Chandani's friends Mehran Abro and Ali Shah Memon following a new autopsy report showing evidence of strangulation and DNA evidence of rape.
In the wake of the incident people from Sindh protested on behalf of Namrita Chandani. The murder caused widespread anger and led to demands that the government form a Judicial Commission
