..because she died without standing trial, without being punished, and without paying for her crimes
On Iran's Channel 1 network, scholar Foad Izadi of Tehran University said, in comments translated by the Middle East Research Institution: 'Perhaps, in light of her 70 years on the throne, she should be included in the same list with Hitler.
From a certain perspective, we should be sad that this person died because she died without standing trial, without being punished, and without paying for her crimes.'
In an English-language broadcast on government network PressTV, he added: 'The queen is a famous imperialist, colonialist, war criminal, aggression of the British army throughout the world is done under her name.
'British armed forces are the queen's armed forces.
'So we have just a handful of people who have engaged in so many atrocities in the last century: Hitler, for example, some American presidents belong to that list, and Queen Elizabeth that oversaw the end of the British empire.
'The number of people that have been killed are in the millions and the queen is responsible for that. Justice was not delivered to one of the most vicious individuals of that last century.'
