FB can and should ban whoever they want, for whatever reason. Just make it publicly clear why, along with all of the name of the people on this "oversight board". I probably shouldn't assume this board will be guided by the U.S. view of free speech.

The US view of free speech is that private firms (other than regulated common carriers, etc.) have it and don't have to use their platform to relay your speech unless they’ve made a contract with you to do so.

I would assume that The Oversight Board will be guided by this, plus whatever more specific guidelines FB has specified.
