Let’s say you viewed this English sentence through more modern eyes, is it inhumane?
Then don't set it in 15th century Europe. Make it a fantasy world, there problem solved.
And the punishment that's basically a normal prison sentence? Stop the presses! She's in the modern idea of a jail!

I’d hand Ann over to the fairy folk and then disavow any involvement as the fairy people are a distinct sovereign people not subject to English laws and not bound by international treaties. As they are a free sovereign people there is nothing England can do that would not violate their independence

Apart from that, I'd pull a rather classical trick. Have her sent to Geneva, sentenced to a comfy exile - but only after a long bargain where the remnants of the KU will be forced to pay England huge war debts for, let's say, half a century.
Then, after a while, she'll just disappear from her prison-mansion without leaving a trace. I'll be entirely outraged at the incompetence of the Geneva dudes and ask for further reparations on behalf of England (I always thought the Lofoten, the Svalbard, the Faer Oer and Jan Mayen would complement the Shetlands, the Hebrides and the Orkneys rather fine), and a bigger say at Geneva.
They won't suspect that the MI7 has anything to do with Witch Queen Annie's "escape". Which, of course, ended with her limp body torn apart by dragons and the pieces dumped into many different erupting volcanoes.
MWAH. AH. AH. AH.

No it's actually a fine sentence, and not cruel at all, plus it's useful to have a magic user doing some restitution work.
But hey, the façade must be kept, and international consensus is important. About as important as being sure that Queenie Annie doesn't get uppity again - or that any of her previous followers do.
And in the end, enemy leaders make for wonderful tools to manipulate others. Just remember, after you use a tool, you dispose of it properly lest other people learn your tricks.
After the battle, the tiny magical creatures surround Annie to perform a powerful magical ritual. All of her vast magical power and potential is 100% drained and removed so that she can no longer terrorize the land.

I see...
I’m glad you like it?
What about this setup makes it better then other ops/scenarios
By the way, your solution is an interesting loophole I did not think about

Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

sorry for super long OP
if she still had magic I think both sentences would be too unsafe for the public because it took so much effort to take her down with magic in the first place
your approach sound like it could be used in a pragmatic Game of Thrones style real life manoeuvre

My solution does 3 things
1 It maintains the punishment of former Witch Queen Annie
2 It appeases the Fairy People who are already an ally (with powerful magic) providing humanitarian aid to my country
3 It distances England from culpability
if the Witch Queen is not in our custody then any sanctions imposed by the ICJ against England are illegal, England is an innocent victim in need of restitution and humanitarian aid
all these bloodthirsty posters wanting to summarily kill the former Witch Queen Annie is mind-boggling

I take that last line as a compliment.
Also, about her losing her powers, well, she still could have followers at large who could undo that if they got her alive (or dead and resurrectable, or undead), so, better safe than sorry, especially if we get a bonus. She's basically a menace equivalent to a Hitler anyway, so...

But as she was being transported across the channel we would kill her and then sink the ship. We would then say the incident was an accident where the ship capsized but luckily everyone got but not Annie who was being kept in maximum security and thus we could not save her. This will allow us to follow international law and deliver justice to Annie.

LOL
but you don't think the international community will put two and two together?
