Jan 23 (Reuters) - ​Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodriguez said on Friday ⁠that 626 people have been released from prison ‍to date as part ​of an ongoing release process, yet she did not ​specify the timeline of the reported releases. 

Venezuelan human rights group Foro Penal has confirmed the ‌release of just 154 ‌political prisoners in Venezuela since ​January 8.

Rodriguez said that she is due to ‌have a call on Monday ⁠with the United Nations ‌High Commissioner ​for Human Rights, Volker Turk, to ask the U.N. ⁠to verify ⁠the lists of those released ​so far in the Andean nation.
