Perhaps the censors believed its topic was aimed at Britain, or the West, and didn't look hard at its (arguably distorted) philosophic viewpoint against fascist totalitarianism. I haven't seen the whole movie (prefer to keep my memories of the graphic novel intact, and I trust that when Alan Moore says it strayed from his vision, it strayed).
The Italians allowed a film version of Ayn Rand's "We the Living" to be produced because they believed it was a biting criticism of Soviet Russia, before someone realized its philosophic disposition was anti-totalitarianism. Could be sort of the same thing...
