According to the Companion Guide, this was what they referred to as a "bottle show", or a show produced with a low budget because they had already spent a lot of money for the season. There aren't a lot of special effects in this episode, but there is a lot of talk.
This scene gives me chills, but not so much when taken out of context like this. In the episode, a Cardassian is trying to make his people acknowledge their guilt over the occupation of Bajor by pretending to be the butcher of Gallitep, getting caught, bragging about everything that went on there, and then put on what would be a very public trial.
The episode did have its bad parts, though. A terrible actor playing a drunk Bajoran has a few lines, "Am I still drunk? Or am I in jail with a Cardassian?" Blah. But there is plenty of great exchange between Kira and Marritza that the bad parts hide in the shadows.
