The lakeside mansion where Myanmar's democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi spent years under house arrest went under auction on Wednesday with a minimum price of $150 million — but attracted no bids, officials said.

Ahead of the auction, a small crowd — mostly journalists — gathered outside the colonial-era house on leafy University Avenue, a few doors down from the U.S. Embassy.
