Your Intersango account is a hosted (shared) EWallet.  So you can withdraw bitcoins to any bitcoin address, not just your own.

Some other exchanges have a "redeemable code" / voucher / "coupon" as a method for transferring bitcoins (and sometimes fiat) from one exchange account to another  (known as account-to-account, or A2A, transfers).  Intersango determined that they couldn't offer that feature, being an exchange operating from the UK.

So there are no restrictions on what you wish to do with your bitcoins in your Intersango account.

With Bitcoin being a global digital currency, there's no concept of geography or political boundaries.  There's no way for an exchange to know where the funds for the withdrawal are being sent.
