She's innocent in the sense that she was following Divine Law, or the law by the gods. And the law by the gods states that every human being must have a proper burial. Creon, however, rejects these laws and cares more about his nation. He believes that Polynices was an enemy of his nation, and rejected the god's laws in order to outcast him.

Antigone was right, she followed the god's laws above mere human laws.

What does Antigone say that her sister has no right to do in 'Antigone'?

That Ismene has no right to share in the blame or the punishment is what Antigone says in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone deliberately breaks a royal edict that honors god-given rights to a below-ground burial for her brother Eteocles but denies them to her brother Polyneices. She asks Ismene for help in burying Polyneices and is turned down. At her trial and sentencing, she announces that she alone deserves punishment since Ismene is innocent of being an accessory to a crime for which she therefore deserves neither blame nor punishment.
