The lawyer for an Army private who sent troves of classified material to WikiLeaks is thanking supporters who gathered outside Maryland’s Fort Meade ahead of Pfc. Bradley Manning’s court-martial.

David Coombs issued a brief statement on his website Sunday. It reads in part, “On behalf of both myself and Pfc. Manning, I would like to thank everyone for their continued support over the last three years.” He also thanks supporters for raising money and awareness of the case.

Coombs has made few public statements during the Manning case.

Thank you

On behalf of both myself and PFC Manning, I would like to thank everyone for their continued support over the last three years. I especially appreciate the the tireless fundraising and awareness efforts of Courage to Resist and the Bradley Manning Support Network. Finally, a special thank you to those journalists who have been reporting on PFC Manning since the beginning and who have brought worldwide attention to this important case.

I AM BRADLEY MANNING.
