Time Magazine's choice for the person who made the single greatest impact in 2011 is ''The Protester''
The choice reflects the importance of demonstrations during 2011 - from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street and the recent Russian rallies .2011 has seen an almost unprecedented rise in both peaceful and sometimes violent unrest and dissent on almost every continent.
The TIME news magazine said the award recognised protesters for "redefining people power" around the world.
Runner-up was Admiral William McRaven, commander of the US raid that killed Osama Bin Laden.
